While the flavor is good, I am very disappointed by the consistency. In the description, the soup is referred to as a bisque, which indicates a thicker, creamier soup. Despite the fact that I cooked the milk base long enough to thicken (which is not even clear in the directions), the finished product was thinner than creamy tomato soup out of a can. I was very disappointed as I love beer cheese soup, and this recipe received 5 stars. -
So good!! Mine didn't turn out real thick, and I cooked the roux with the milk for quite a while. Maybe it needed more time? Doesn't matter, because this soup has amazing flavor! By far some of the best beer-cheese soup I've ever had or made. Putting this in our normal rotation. Thank you! -
Delicious!!!! We have tried other Beer cheese soup recipes, but this is the one we were looking for! We ate it with a side of roasted veggies (cauliflower, potatoes, onions, and red peppers). My husband must have said "Yum" like 100 times during dinner. We will definitely be making this again! Thank you! -
Yummy! It's nicely seasoned and the texture is just right. I used a good extra-sharp cheddar for this. Almost any garnishes/toppings would be great on this. We used garlic croutons, scallions and more cheese. Everyone can personalize their own. Thanx for posting!
