Gluten-free Beer Cheese Soup has been hard to find in restaurants, so I decided to make my own version of this soup! The first time I made this was for a guy’s night at our house. It was a hit!
The original recipe was posted on January 8th, 2016 and it was updated on 1/26/22 to include step-by-step instructions, text changes, and video!
It has been so rainy and cold here in Phoenix I have been wondering if the ark was going to appear!
I have been craving a nice warm comforting soup during this cold weather. I had never had Beer Cheese Soup before. My husband loves it so he requested for me to modify the recipe to make it gluten free!
His family is originally from Wisconsin so I wanted to make sure to use yummy Sharp Cheddar from Wisconsin.
I am thankful we have the Gluten Free Beer Cheese Soup to keep us warm and fed during this cold snap! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THIS GLUTEN FREE BEER CHEESE SOUP:

Gluten Free Flour
Bacon
Gluten free croutons or toasted Gluten Free Bread
Salt and Pepper
A big pot to put it all in
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO MAKE IT:
Cook the bacon in the oven on a foil-lined baking sheet.
When it’s crispy, set it aside.
Add butter and oil to a large pot over medium heat.
Sautee the veggies in the large pot until they are soft.
Add gluten-free flour to the veggies to make a roux.
Cook for a minute before you add in the beer.
Add the beer, 1/2 at a time.
Whisk it all together.
Add in broth, half and half, and whisk to combine.
Add in cheese and stir so it doesn’t burn.
