My boyfriend loved it! I did not add the carrots but it was still good!

The first time I made this recipe, I felt something was missing something, that it was too bland. I found some bacon, cooked 4 strips, then crumbled them and added them to the pot. It turned out great! My brother and I finished the entire pot! I also add more beer than the recipe calls for now, as it gives it even more flavor.

It was easy but the carrots just don't seem to fit.

Really good. Not the first beer cheese soup recipe I have tried, by far the best! Thick and yummy.

I made this soup for my husband and myself with broccoli (instead of carrots) and Michelob Ultra. It was quick and easy, and very good!!

I have made this a few times now and my boyfriend absolutely loves it! The second time I made it I used more than a 1/2 cup of beer (more like 1/2 - 3/4 of a bottle of Killians) it was even better with the amount of beer increased. I have also added cooked pasta to it just before serving, very tasty! I want to try making this again soon with Guinness rather than Killians.

I love, love, love beer and I thoroughly enjoyed this soup. It was actually very nice drinking a beer with the beer soup. Great idea.
