I admit, beer is not my go-to alcoholic beverage of choice. That said, I am a big fan of adding a little lager to soups, stews, chili and even some desserts. It’s a secret ingredient that adds depth and can enhance flavors already there. That’s why I love our Creamy Beer Cheese Soup recipe. This warming bowl is ready to eat in less than 30 minutes! Plus, it’s super-satisfying and makes a delicious quick-fix lunch.

We sauté carrot, potato and leek in melted butter to add even more richness. Then pour in beer and chicken stock. To turn this tasty lunch into a hearty supper, simply add shredded rotisserie chicken. We like cheddar for its sharp bite, but pretty much any melty cheese would be just as yummy. Finish with a splash of cream and you’re ready to dig in. Cook along with our video, watch how easy it is, then send us a comment.
