I've never made any of these. Just found them on the internet. I included them all because they sounded very different. The first one sounds the simplest, but they all sound good. Hope these help.

QUIVEY'S GROVE SAUSAGE, CHEESE AND BEER SOUP
Source: Quivey's Grove Restaurant - Madison, Wisconsin
A great winter treat from Quiveys Grove restaurant in Madison, WI. Another awesome dish, it can turn salty so watch the ham and sausage, making sure it's low salt or baked ham.
2 qt. water
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 lb. smoked ham pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1 C. butter or margarine
1 1/2 C. flour
2 C. cold milk + more if necessary
1/2 to 3/4 C. beer, depending on your taste
12 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
12 oz. sausage,( bulk or links ) cooked
Its best if you can find a picnic ham and pork sausage thats not too salty. Bring the water, black pepper, and ham to a boil in a large pot and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the stock. Skim fat from the surface, and return the stock to the pot, keeping it warm. Reserve the ham.
In a large heavy saucepan, prepare a roux by melting the margarine or butter until bubbly and whisk in the flour. Continue cooking as you stir for 5 minutes over medium. Add the soup stock slowly, 2 cups at a time, whisking and cooking until thick and smooth after each addition. Slowly add the milk, stirring all the time. Add the grated cheese, a little at a time, stirring until thick, smooth and melted.
Add the beer, cooked sausages (if using links, chop into 1/2-inch pieces) and chopped reserved ham pieces. Keep warm on low until serving. Makes about 6 to 8 servings.
