Crock-Pot Cheddar Beer Soup

I love cheesy soups! Give me a bowl of French onion soup, cheese & broccoli soup or this wonderful and easy recipe for Crock-Pot Cheddar Beer Soup any day of the week and I will be a happy camper!

Crock-Pot Cheddar Beer Soup

There is just something special about the flavor combination of cheese and beer. There is an earthiness about it that really tickles my taste buds! Simple but flavorful vegetables are simmered slow and low in the slow cooker for several hours in chicken or vegetable broth and your favorite beer. Then cheese is added near the end of the cooking time and a little cornstarch added to thicken the soup up just a little bit and left to simmer a little longer. Ladle the hot soup into soup bowls and serve with plenty of bread (I used pretzel rolls I found at our local bakery) for dipping into the soup.

It was, hands down one of the most delicious soups I have had in a long time and one that my family enjoyed as well.

I hope your family enjoys it too!
