Steps:

  • 1. Cook bacon til crisp, set aside on papertowels. (I pepper my bacon and bake it in the oven at 375 for about 18-20 minutes til crisp on a foil-lined sided (not flat) cookie sheet.) In microwave safe dish or pitcher, heat water and bouillon til bouillon is dissolved. Set aside. In large deep frying pan, place sausage that has been cut in half lengthwise, casing removed, then cut into bite-sized pieces. (All 5 of them.) Don't worry, it won't be too much. Add celery, onions and red potatoes. (Dice potatoes leaving the skins on.) Saute about 10 minutes, stirring ocaisionally.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer: The type of beer you use will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Use a beer that you enjoy drinking, and that has a flavor that you think will complement the cheese. Some good choices include pale ales, amber ales, and stouts.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the soup grainy. Shred your own cheese for a smoother, more flavorful soup.
  • Don't boil the soup: Boiling the soup will cause the cheese to curdle. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat, and then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the soup will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Beer and cheddar soup is a hearty and filling soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
