BEER CHEESE SOUP (AKA LEINIE'S BEER CHEESE SOUP)
This Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup is my absolute favorite! My friends and I can't get enough; it's excellent for parties, tale gaiting, in front of the fireplace or while watching a good movie. And somehow, it tastes even better when it is snowing outside. The Leinie's Red gives it a unique flavor that will surpass standard "beer" recipes.

- Add additional pepper, wild rice, bacon and/or mushrooms to taste.
- Garnish with additional bacon and/or popcorn and a couple shreds of cheese. Side with a sourdough boule or similar fresh bread; when tail-gaiting use sourdough croutons.
