buffalo bills beer cheese soup
(1 rating)
My guys like this soup on a cold Sunday afternoon in front of the fire, and the TV with a rousing football game. I first started making this soup for them when we were living in Western NY and cheering on the Buffalo Bills. Personally I'll eat it anytime and anywhere.

1Heat a large stock pot over medium heat and add chopped bacon. Fry until crispy and fat is rendered, them remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain. Reduce heat to low and add onions, peppers and garlic, stirring to coat. Cook for about 10 minutes, until vegetables are translucent, stirring occasionally.

Add in beer and stirring constantly, cook for 5 minutes so they alcohol cooks out and the mixture somewhat thickens. Add in half and half, then reduce heat to low and gradually add cheese while stirring. Stir until smooth, then fold in bacon and serve immediately. Garnish fresh chopped herbs over top if desired.

3I love to serve this soup in bread bowls. I make my onion-rye rolls into small breads and scoop them out. I sometimes make croutons from scooped out bread.
