Curly's Beer Cheese Soup

"This recipe is from Curly's Pub located in Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. I love beer cheese soup. This stuff is so creamy and so easy to make with easy to find ingredients. If you have an immersion blender you can blitz this right in the pan. Otherwise you can take it to your blender. Top with some unbuttered popcorn. GO PACK GO!!! :) UPDATED: I checked the recipe and it did call for 6 cans of beer, but it cannot be right. I called Curly's Pub at the stadium and got the correction from them at 2 cans of beer. The recipe they had given out was for the larger amounts made for the restaurant. 6 Cans of beer makes a bit more sense then. LOL."

  1. Actually the SIX cans of beer was correct for this recipe. Two cans for the soup and 4 cans for the cook/chef. To contrast the rich flavor of the cheese an American Ale or IPA would do well. A dark nut brown ale or stout would probably be very good as well. The cook time should be changed to read "FOUR BEERS TIME".
     
  2. bad. too watery. are you sure 4 cups of water? I'm thinking NONE.
     
  3. I hosted a Packers football game viewing this weekend and made this soup for my guests. It was delicious! A bit on the thin side, as the previous comment states. I used miller beer and the flavor was mild so two bottles is just right!
     
  4. Start with no water and see how that goes. All I have is delicious beer cheese flavored water. I followed the directions to the letter.
     
  5. From having lived in Green Bay and being a Wisconsin native, this recipe is fantastic. The only recommendations I have are to: 1) Plan ahead: use this as an excuse to make beer brats the night before and save the boil liquids to use in place of water. It makes the soup that much more savory. 2) Add the heavy cream around a minute after the other liquids and reducing temperature to prevent it from curdling and ruining the texture
