German Beer and Cheese Soup image

This soup may not be for everyone, but we really enjoyed it. The beer and German mustard give the chowder a tangy flavor. It's thick and hearty so it can be a main course. Or, you can serve alongside a sandwich. We loved the addition of pasta and all the veggies. Cheesy and full-flavored, it's great warm-you-up meal.

I didn't like this soup at all. The flavor was bland and it was too thick.
