Cheddar potato-beer soup with shredded ham image

This is a hearty, cozy soup that's great for chilly fall evenings. I like it with lots of the red pepper flakes. You can serve this as a main course for dinner, along with rye bread and apple pie for dessert. Recipe is from the Chicago Tribune.

I used bacon instead of ham and it added a nice smoky flavor to the soup.

The soup was a bit too thick for my taste, so I added some extra milk to thin it out.

I substituted vegetable broth for the beer and it was still delicious! This soup is a great way to sneak in some veggies for picky eaters.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out a bit bland. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.
