This was different! Quite surprised with how good this came out. For the onions I chose to use Kittencal's Perfect Caramelized Onions.

    I made this soup for an Oktoberfest dinner last year and it was a hit! I regularly get requests for it.

    Maybe I did something wrong. Neither my Dh nor I cared for the taste of this soup. We used a bottle of good Bass Ale, but it just didn't blend well with the onions and the chicken stock and gave a rather bitter flavor to the soup. Sorry CL...I really wanted to like this soup and think that perhaps it's just not in tune with our taste buds.
