For many of us, as soon as it gets cold out, we’re ready for soup. A hearty and flavorful bowl of soup can warm you up even on the chilliest days, but this kind of soup takes it to the next level. Beer. Cheese. Soup. Combining rich cheese with robust beer, you can enjoy this paired with your favorite brew or on its own as a comforting appetizer or main course. Perfected by breweries and restaurants in Metro Detroit, Beer Cheese Soup is a great addition to your seasonal soup lineup.
