Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer: The type of beer you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, and that has a flavor that you think will complement the other ingredients in the soup.
  • Don't boil the beer: When you add the beer to the soup, do not let it boil. Boiling will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor of the soup.
  • Use a roux to thicken the soup: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces and soups. To make a roux, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  • Add the cheese slowly: When you add the cheese to the soup, do it slowly and gradually. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Beer cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beer. With a few simple tips, you can make a beer cheese soup that is sure to impress your friends and family.
