When I went last week, they had Beer Cheese soup and I agree with OP. It was so much better than Le Cellier!
Be sure to ask your server. A lot of times, they'll give you a print out of the recipe at the restaurant. We did that for Le Cellier's soup and Boma's juice.
I loved that soup much much better than the Le Cellier soup. Oh man, it was sooo good! Apparently, someone correct me if im wrong, but I think it was a cream of cauliflower soup. Hopefully someone will post the recipe soon. I'd love to try it out.![]()
bookgirl said:I had the cheese soup at Canada when we did food and wine and it was okay.
However the potato cheese bacon soup at Sunshine Gardens at the Land was so much better than the one from Canada it was fabulous. I didn't get to SG this year so I totally missed it after trying the other soup.
However Birgarten is the TS right....I don't see me actually going there so I may not get a chance to try it.

I asked for the recipe when I visited Biergarten last week. The recipe makes 3 gallons so you will have to scale it down.
Ingredients:
1 lb. butter
2.5 lb. onions diced
1 lb. all purpose flour
4 oz. chicken base
2 gallons water
3 lbs. shredded white cheddar cheese
1 12 oz bottle Octoberfest beer
1 pinch white ground pepper
3 dashes Tabasco sauce
Method:
Saute the onions with the butter in kettle. Sweat until translucent. Add flour, make a roux, cook for 5 minutes until the flour starts to turn blonde. Then add chicken stock and water and whisk vigorously. Cook until the roux is cooked out, about 10 minutes. Add cheese slowly and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Season with pepper and Tabasco.
Reheating for service:
Place the beer on the store to reheat just to break the chill. DO NOT BOIL! Slowly whisk the warmed beer into the port of soup and whisk vigorously to combine. Garnish with chives and serve with pretzel croutons.
