Wisconsin Native’s Beer Cheese Soup As a Wisconsin native, I’m accustomed to a fantastic beer cheese soup. This is the recipe I’ve created, as a salute to my home state…America’s Dairy land…and a state that brews a mighty fine beer! Serve with lots of popcorn floating on top!

  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in flour with a wire whisk; cook, stirring until the flour is light brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat, and gradually stir in cheese. Keep warm.

  • Stir beer mixture into cheese mixture. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Adjust for hot pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Serve topped with popcorn.
