BEER CHEESE SOUP (AKA LEINIE'S BEER CHEESE SOUP)
This Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup is my absolute favorite! My friends and I can't get enough; it's excellent for parties, tale gaiting, in front of the fireplace or while watching a good movie. And somehow, it tastes even better when it is snowing outside. The Leinie's Red gives it a unique flavor that will surpass standard "beer" recipes.

Tips:
- Use a good quality beer for the best flavor. A dark beer, such as a stout or porter, will give the soup a richer flavor, while a light beer, such as a pilsner or lager, will give it a lighter flavor.
- Grate the cheese yourself for a smoother soup. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Add the cheese slowly and stir constantly to prevent it from clumping.
- If the soup is too thick, add a little milk or broth. If it is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer.
- Serve the soup with a crusty bread or crackers.
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 ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
