I wanted to save one of my favorite recipes for last. Beer cheese soup is really popular in Wisconsin (for obvious reasons) and I had never made it until recently. There are a few key things that I feel make a great beer cheese soup: sharp cheddar, lite beer, chicken stock (not broth), lots of black pepper.....and in this case bratwurst. This recipe is everything that remind me of home on a cold blustery Sunday afternoon. Rich, cheesy, salty and filling....delicious. Ron, Kellen and I devoured this soup and Kellen asked for seconds!
This has been a blast and I want to thank all of our sponsors for allowing us to use their products and create an amazing prize package for our readers. I have another giveaway from our sponsors in an upcoming post so stay tuned! Please do not forget to visit our sponsors and enter to win an amazing prize pack!
