Looking at the words beer cheese soup, is there anything not to like? This recipe is perfect for those chilly nights where all you want to do is put on a pair of sweat pants and eat some comfort food (i.e. every night at my house). Break out your Crock-Pot or slow cooker, or make it on the stovetop and serve hot with some bread or crackers for dipping!
