This is from the Tillamook Cheese Factory - some of the best cheese in the world!!!!! Of course I'm biased cause they're in my home state This is my fave beer cheese soup — you can use other cheese, just make sure it's extra sharp!

This recipe turned out to be wonderful. It was not grainy when cooked to the correct temperature and my family loved it! It is going into my cookbook for future use. Thank you!

    I'm sorry, we didn't care for this soup.... as many other reviews mentioned, it was very grainy. Me being the texture freak that I am, didn't care for that...

    This was great, and alot more filling than you'd think. I made it with Guinness (of course) and doubled the garlic. Great for dipping bread in and I spiced my bowl up a bit with a few dashes of Tabasco which really made it good. Thanks for a great, simple recipe.

    I have been wanting to make this soup for the longest time. Luckily I have a great zaar friend that sent me some tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese. I found a dark Texas brew that appeared to be perfect for this recipe. All the flavors worked so well together. I served herbed croutons on top and a green salad on the side. This was rich and simply wonderful and comes together in no time. Thanks for a great recipe Kirstin!
