Mmmmmmm! Thick and cheesey. I loved that cheese combination. This is a great soup for little kids because it's thick enough to cling to their spoons, so they won't get frustrated or (overly) messy. Most kids love ham and cheese! I made this just as written, using the milk. I'm sure the beer would be great, but I wouldn't replace all the milk with beer...maybe half. This recipe is a real keeper. I'll be making this again. I may even try some smoked gouda! Thanx for sharing.
