Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The beer adds flavor and a malty richness to this recipe, but it isn't enough to make the soup taste like beer. For more beer flavor, add 2 to 4 more tablespoons.
  • tip 2
    Popcorn is the traditional garnish for beer cheese soup. For a pretty presentation, purchase colorful flavored popcorn to sprinkle over each serving of this soup.
