B & C’s Beer & Cheese Soup

The first time I had the beer and cheese soup special at Earth Bread and Brewery, I was in love. Beer, cheese and bacon- Can it get any better than that? Then to my excitement, a week later, there it was on the menu at Appalachian Brewing Company. Both soups were different in taste, texture and ingredients, but equally delicious. After thoroughly analyzing Appalachian’s soup, I decided I had to learn how to make it. I reviewed a lot of recipes online, read the comments and suggestions, enlisted my good friend Brittany to help and here is what we came up with.

Picture the soup with bacon on top. Delicious!

¥   2 Cans Cheese Soup

¥   1 Bottle Beer

¥   8 oz Sharp Cheddar

2.         Mix flour into vegetables

3.         Add vegetables to medium-large pot and add broth

4.         Bring to a boil

5.         Reduce heat of broth and vegetables to a simmer

6.         Add beer, cheese soup and cheddar cheese

Boxed Beer Brownies/ Cake

My signature dessert is as simple as replacing the water with beer in a boxed brownie or cake recipes. Simple and delicious.

Ingredients:

Boxed Brownies or Cake of Choice

Eggs

Oil

Beer of Choice

 

 

Directions:

Follow the directions on the box, but use a little less oil and a little more of chosen beer. The amount of beer depends on the amount of water called for in box directions. For example, if the recipe calls for ¼ cup of water, use ¼ cup of beer instead.  

Originally, I used Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale, which is still my favorite. It creates a textured brownie with a subtle spicy, pumpkin taste.
