1 Review of Beer Cheese Soup

Made this for dinner tonight...and was very dissapointed. I am from Wisconsin and have had good beer cheese soup several times and this was not beer cheese soup. I had to throw it away because it was so bad. I made this in the crockpot and followed everything in the recipe but omitted the sausage, olive oil, cut back the water to 2 cups and used one whole can of beer and about 1 1/2 cups of cheese, but it still turned out very "watery." I used some cornstarch to try to thicken it up, but it was still too watery and the onion and celery was too much. I would have used 1/3 cup celery, 1/2 of an onion, and 2 cups of potatoes instead. I know beer cheese soup as being a cream soup: this was like chicken soup minus the chicken with melted cheese that sank to the bottom: justed messed up. I don't know how anyone could eat this. This was my first time making beer cheese soup and even if I would have made this on the stove, it would have turned out similarly. I think instead of adding water, it needs 1/2 and 1/2 or whole milk and lots more cheese to even taste like real beer cheese soup. Sorry my review is harsh but I'm being honest
