Notes

  • Allow the flour to cook a full minute before adding liquids, this removes any starchy flavor.
  • Add the beer a bit at a time mixing after each addition. The mixture will seem thick and pasty at first but will smooth out.
  • Cook over medium heat, high heat can cause the dairy (cream) to scorch.
  • When adding cheese remove the mixture from the heat before stirring in the cheese. If the soup is too hot, it can cause the cheese to separate.

Nutritional information is for 1 cup of soup and two slices of cheese toast.
