1 12-oz bottle pumpkin ale (I use Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale)

1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (about 1/4 pound)
Pinch or two of ground nutmeg (to taste (I add about 1/8 teaspoon))

  • Add the flour and continue cooking over medium low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes.
  • Add the milk, vegetable broth, and beer in a stream, whisking well. Return to a simmer and cook for about five more minutes until very slightly thickened.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer for the best flavor. A dark beer will give the soup a richer flavor, while a light beer will make a lighter soup.
  • Shred the cheese yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese. This will help the cheese melt more smoothly and prevent it from clumping.
  • Add the cheese slowly and stir constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • If the soup is too thick, add a little milk or beer to thin it out.
  • Serve the soup with a crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
