Easy Beer Cheese Soup (with Bacon) Recipe

By Leave a Comment

This is part of the Family Dinner Night series … check out all of the recipes here.

Beer, bacon, and cheese.

I feel like I don’t even have to say anything else here. Talk about an epic food combination.

This soup has been a favorite of mine for years. I can remember my mom making it when I was younger. It has become a comfort food for me, and I’ve had a lot of fun adding my own twist to it (ahem … the bacon).

This deliciously comforting soup is filled to the brim with beer, bacon, and cheddar cheese ... and it's great for families (with a few hidden vegetables)! /// by Atkinson Drive

Beer Cheese Soup (with Bacon)
Author: Sam | Atkinson Drive
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Baking Potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1+ C. Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • 2 C. Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Celery Stalks, chopped
  • 1 Large Onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. Dry Mustard
  • 2 Carrots, chopped
  • 1 C. Low-Fat Milk
  • 1 C. Beer
  • 2 tsp. Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste
Instructions
  1. PREP: chop onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes.
  2. Heat oil in a nonstick Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in onion, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned – about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the dry mustard and cook another minute.
  4. Add your broth, potatoes, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat and simmer – covered – until the vegetables are tender … approximately 20 minutes.
  6. Use an immersion blender, to blend the soup until thickened. If you don’t have an immersion blender, use a potato masher or fork to smash the vegetables and slightly thicken the soup.
  7. Add the beer, milk, and half of the cheddar to the vegetable mixture; let simmer until the cheese melts.
  8. When you’re ready to serve, top with bacon bits, sour cream, and shredded cheddar.
Notes
– If you REALLY love bacon, cook some up and add it to the soup when you put the cheese in for extra flavor. [br]- Texas toast croutons are a favorite topping of mine! [br]- This soup can easily be made for a group of people by adding more milk, broth, and beer.

 This recipe is a mom’s dream with the hidden potatoes, carrots, and celery. The kids will love the cheese and bacon so much that they won’t even notice the veggies they’re eating!
