I made it as recipe said and it's too thin and just not that good. I've had better lots better.

I used to work at Baby Doe's and have searched for years to find a soup like theirs. This is wonderful and brings back some great memories. I like it best with a lighter beer. My husband bought a dark ale one time and it was a bit overpowering, but still a great soup. Thanks for sharing!

Not bad. The beer cheese soup I've had in the past was very thick and I thought it was very thin so I added more corn starch and doubled the cheese. I also added bacon and I used Guinness. The beer is pretty strong so make sure you use a flavorful beer. After I doctored it up it was quite tasty.

This soup looked and smelled really good but when it came to tasting there was way too much of a beer flavor for me. If I make it again I will cut the amount of beer at least by half.

Good!Will probably use different cheese next time, not a fan of the whiz.

I've had the original and this is pretty good. I used Newcastle beer which gave it great flavor. The tablespoon of Hot sauce gave it alot of kick, so next time I'll maybe use half. Added the extra cornstarch and still wasn't as thick as I would have liked. I paired it with some Sourdough Rye bread and it was fabulous!

Made some slight modifications to the original recipe per other reviewers suggestions - less Worcestershire sauce, more cornstarch. My grocery store doesn't carry Cheese-Whiz so I used a 16 oz bar of Velveeta instead. Coors was my beer of choice. The soup was easy and fast to put together and absolutely delicious. Two friends have already asked for the recipe. Will definitely make again.

Not the recipe of beer cheese soup I was looking for. I was looking for something more elaborate tasting. This seemed to taste like beer and cheezwiz. The search goes on..... Thanks anyways.

YUM!! My husband and I often go to a local restaurant just for their beer cheese soup. This recipe was very close...just had a bit more spice. Next time I will try using a little more corn starch to thinken the soup up. Will make again!!!

Warning, the beer/alcohol taste in this recipe is very strong. I am not a beer drinker, but I usually like beer flavoring (beer brats, beer burgers, etc.). The beer flavor in this soup was just too strong for me. Perhaps cutting the beer down to 6 oz. would help.

suprisingly easy

This was great! What a filling soup - next time I'm going to have it in a bread bowl :-)

Whenever we go to the Renaissance Festival in our area we have cheddar ale soup. Recently my husband asked if I could make it at home. I chose this recipe because it looked like the simplest one available. It was a huge hit! I knew it was a success when my husband called home from a business trip asking for the recipe so that he could make it for friends. Did I mention my husband doesn't cook? Even he could make the soup a success.

This soup is Awesome! My husband and I both love it!

I loved this soup!!!! It was SOOO easy to make, and tasted great. I just added a little more beer (my preference), and everyone enjoyed it.

Baby Doe's Matchless Mine in Dallas has long been a family tradition and the "Beer Cheese Soup" has been a lifelong favorite of mine (I would always ask for an extra cup). This recipie is very authentic. I, too have reduced the amount of W'sauce as the first batch was a little "fishy". Wife loved it, kids liked it as well. I have found a new "Soup and Sandwich Lunch" staple at the Hawke house. Just a note: they originally used Coors beer (in the 70's anyway) not dark beer. I made it with both and the results, while completely different, are both delicious! Thanks for bringing back wonderful childhood memories!!!

I had been looking for this recipe for years - it tastes JUST LIKE I remember from Baby Doe's. So creamy and easy. Wonderful!!!

I have eaten at Baby Doe's and this is one of my favorite places in Dallas. Txwindsong

The flavor was a little strong to me - the processed cheese sauce I used had anchovies in it (Cheese Whiz), and witht he Worcestershire sauce, that was a little too much anchovy. Next time, I will add less W. sauce. Also, I had to add some extra corn sta
