It’s absolutely frigid outside! The temperatures have dipped quite low for the past couple of days. But don’t panic!! I have the perfect soup to keep you nice and warm: Three Cheese Shrimp Beer Soup!! Nothing seems to warm me up when I’m cold, like a good bowl of hot soup.
This Three Cheese Shrimp Beer Soup is just divine!
I mean, it’s cheeses and booze in a slurp. Can you ask for something else?
Can you ask for something else?
Wait. It doesn’t sound like me. Besides an occasional glass of white wine, I am not really into alcohol. But when it comes to cooking, I think alcohol brings out the flavor in food.
I know this is not the classic Midwestern Beer-Cheese-Soup recipe. I just got super creative and threw in a bunch of different ingredients I had in my fridge. And because I LOVE cheese, I added three types: Cheddar, and Monterey.
A combination of flavors that will leave you wanting one more bowl!
You’re going to love this soup because:
- It is so simple to put together, but the flavor tastes like it took all day to make.
- It’s warm,
- rich, and
- hearty.
- The texture is fabulous, soft, and creamy, with no stringy blobs of cheddar in sight! But it’s important that the cheeses are at room temperature when you add them to the soup, so take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before you start making the soup.
This just takes about 25 minutes start-to-finish. Yep, you heard me! Only 25 minutes, so it perfect
Yep, you heard me! Only 25 minutes, so it perfect for weeknight dinner.
