I am from Minnesota and I have to agree with The Modern Proper, this is by far the best beer cheese soup I have ever had!!! I made it according to the recipe except I added 1/2 the red bell pepper since I was worried it might take over the entire flavor. I will continue to make this one adjustment on future batches (yes, there will be many future batches). One last comment, when from Minnesota and Wisconsin (yea, we're related to both), it is a must to add POPCORN to the soup! No beer cheese soup is fully served without popcorn! Yum, so keeping this recipe. Thank you for sharing!!!

Bacon & Beer Cheese Soup

lb. bacon

garlic,

c. whole milk

lager

c. shredded cheddar

Kosher salt

Bread,

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to let drain, then crumble.

Heat skillet with bacon fat over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, 6 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add flour and whisk until golden, 3 minutes, then add broth, milk, and beer and let simmer until thickened, 15 to&nbsp;20 minutes.

Add cheese and continue to simmer until slightly reduced and thickened,&nbsp;stirring occasionally, 5 to 8&nbsp;minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then stir in most of the crumbled bacon.

Ladle soup into bowls and top with remaining bacon. Serve warm with bread.

I made this according to the recipe except for cooking the bacon in a skillet big enough to accommodate seven pieces of bacon, then pouring the fat into a pot and making the soup in that. We thought it was delicious, and I'm positive I'll be making it again!

Perfect. I added potatoes and used Guinness. Absolutely awesome!

Sounds solid. Bacon fat always imparts a delicious flavor. I often substitute it for butter.....  Only critique I have is in the execution. Unless one pulls it off just right, the cheese should be added after the simmer.otherwise it can break and get gritty. I love the recipe! Try substituting chorizo. Or anything! Great

I wish I didn't use the bacon fat to cook the onions and garlic! Butter would have been a better choice. It gave it a weird flavor

Creamy irresistible Irish Beer Cheese Soup, perfect to serve on Saint Patrick’s Day with a tall frothy pint!

Irish Beer Cheese Soup

This hearty soup combines the well known flavors of sausage and potato soup with the very classic Wisconsin beer cheese soup.

Beer Cheese Potato Soup with Sausage

spicy turkey sausage

white onion, diced

carrots

celery

oregano

can of your favorite beer

lbs. russet potatoes, diced in 1/2" pieces

sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

white balsamic vinegar

cracked pepper

green onion

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and brown, crumbling with a spatula until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat butter in the same large pot (no need to wipe it out) over medium high heat.

Add onion, carrots, celery and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for 10-12 minutes.

Turn heat to medium and add garlic, oregano and thyme and cook for another minute.

Then add flour and stir to coat veggies. Cook for one more minute, stirring frequently.

Stir in beer, chicken broth, and diced potatoes along with another pinch of salt and pepper.

Cover, turn heat up to medium high and bring to a simmer.

Once it begins to simmer, turn heat to low, cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot. 

Remove soup from heat. Transfer half of the soup mixture to a high speed blend. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour back into pot. 

Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Then add white balsamic vinegar.

Add cooked sausage back into the pot. Heat the soup over medium heat for a couple minutes, until sausage is heated through. 

Garnish with green onions and shredded cheddar cheese and enjoy!

This recipe is fantastic! Very forgiving, also. I had to stop a couple of times mid-recipe and it still turned out great! I

Best beer cheese soup I ever made! I will make it again.

Excellent recipe! I doubled the recipe and swapped the Turkey sausage for smoked sausage, kielbasa and andouille sausages. It turned out sooo good and it wasn’t difficult to make at all.  Thank you for sharing!

Honestly.. great recipe! Soup is delicious. But its extremely difficult to review this site! Can't even get a print of the recipe as the advertisements kill the experience.

Definitely a keeper, so delicious and easy to make. I read the reviews and tried it with andouille and mild Italian sausage. I also used Fosters lager. Will be making again. Does this freeze well?

YUM! Thanks for sharing this hearty and delicious soup recipe. Perfect for a cold winter night. My husband is already asking when can I make this one again. He ate 3 bowls at dinner! I didn’t have white balsamic vinegar but I will pick some up for next batch.

This was such a delicious and easy make! Made it exactly as recipe called and it definitely didn’t disappoint…at all! Thank you for sharing. 

Next time, I’m going to swap the sausage out for bacon. 🖤

This is my first time making this soup, but it won’t be the last. It’s cold and snowy today, and this is the perfect satisfyingly flavorful soup.  I used my immersion blender instead of transferring the soup into a blender.  Thanks for a yummy recipe!

Hey, Kylie!
I made your potato beer cheese soup today…it went really well!  This stuff is waaay tasty!!
I used turkey bacon and white wine and a Stella.
Thank you for making this recipe and most of all, for sharing with all of us😁😁
