Loaded Rich and Creamy Cheesy Cheddar Beer Soup image

This soup came about when I needed to clear room in the fridge and freezer for the holiday cookie and candy madness that started! It was use it or pitch it day! Glad I wrote everything down as I made it, because it turned out so wonderful that it's a keeper for LIFE! Though the veggies I use may vary in the future to what I have...
