Sounds yummy! Can you substitute another beer for pale ale?
I haven’t tried this, but you can give it a shot!
This soup was tasty and easy to make. For my taste, I would cut back on the onion and use a small onion. Make sure you finely dice it. I made the soup with the beer bread muffin. It was a good combination.
Thanks for sharing, Sonja!
Easy and good!!! I do like the green onion garnish with it. Going to try it with a red beer next. Very good!
So happy to hear you loved it!
Gave me gas
So sorry to hear that! :/

This sounds so good! I love soups also because they are typically so quick and easy to make, and I don’t always have a lot of time. Not sure why I never thought of making this before. Thanks for the reminder!
Hope you love it! It’s such an easy go-to!
Replaced feta with diced ham, and used giant soft pretzels in place of crusty bread. BAM!!
That sounds totally divine!
ooo this sounds tasty! My husband is from KY and they actually make a “beer cheese” for this soup, but I can’t always find it! This could be a nice alternative, thanks! (plus it’s gorgeous)
Everything about this cozy soup is ah-mazing.. quick and easy! Not to mention, the ingredients… to die for!
