I never thought of putting popcorn on top of a soup. It was good. Personally, I would double or triple the garlic, mustard and Worcestershire. I will also reduce the chicken brother and just add the whole beer. Quality cheese and quality beer really make this soup.<br/>The next morning I heated some in the center of a plate and slid a sunny side up egg on top. It was great!

I am a Colorado ski bum at heart, but am currently stuck in Miami, FL of all places working on my Doctoral degree in physical therapy at UM. I can't wait until I graduate and can get back to the mountains! 2 more years, 2 more years...I love to cook and find it a great way to relax and slow down after classes and I can't wait until I have more free time to be able to do it. I have been in the Air National Guard with Colorado and Florida for the last four years and have been fortunate enough to taste many different foods and stretch my palate. I have lots of recipes waiting to be posted and when I finally get the time I will, so stand by!
