Is this the very same "cheddar cheese soup" that everyone raves about ??
Is there 2 different kinds? You mean it's made with beer ?????
For me - I can't even kiss my DH if he's had a beer. Oh Yuck! I REALLY dislike the taste of beer. I was thinking of getting a reservation just to taste the cheddar cheese soup that is raved about.
