Low carb cheddar beer soup reminds me of football and cold, blustery winter days. Throw this delicious recipe in a slow cooker and take it to your next football party. I guarantee it will not disappoint. I also love to use this as a dip for my Keto Soft Pretzels.

Did you know that I have an entire ebook dedicated to low carb soups and stews? I love warm and comforting soup recipes, especially in the cooler fall and winter months.

Have you ever made this on the stove? If so, what is the cooking time?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I have never made it on the stove top but you could very easily do it in under an hour.

My mom made it in a dutch oven. She sautéed the veggies and sausage before adding to the broth mixture. It turned out fabulous. Took about an hour.

I looked all over for gluten free beer but couldn't find it. One alternative I found was using low carb beer. There are 2 that I think might - Sam Adams Light and Michelob Ultra. I was thinking of using Guinness but that might distort the taste too much as the flavor is very heavy. Anybody else have any suggestions?

Omission is a gluten free beer we use
Nancy Fritchey says
Isn't Keto pretty much gluten-free.? Cause keto cuts out alot more grains.
Good recipe. I think i would use spicier sausage and diced tomatoes next time.
Eileen says
I made this without the beer and it was delicious! Thanks for all the yummy recipes.
Andrea says
Thanks for this reply about not using beer. I was curious. I steer away from all alcohol...
Sara says
All alcohol is cooked out by the time it is finished.
Leah says
How would this taste without the beer?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I'm sure it would taste great.

So i've made this twice. the second time I used cheaper and fattier sausage (I do keto so I was like YES MORE FAT).... don't do that!!! It doesn't come together as well if the sausage is too fatty. It still tasted very good but the consistency wasn't there and there were little oil marks on the top layer...

Good Evening! I just discovered your WONDERFUL website and am thrilled with your fabulous recipes! I haven't seen a site that had sooo many interesting and creative recipes in a long time! I like the way you think!
Thanks so much! You've just made our gluten free/low carb world a more delicious place to live!
Beth says
I guess you could sub deer sausage in here too right?
Kyndra Holley says
I bet you could substitute any kind of sausage in here and it would still be delicious.
Chrissy says
I think it's important to note, that the carb count varies wildly among styles of beer. Use something light (in color) and cheap--an american pils or lager, and you won't go awry.
Kyndra Holley says
I agree. There is a note about ingredients at the bottom of every post "

This looks very good, but conventional beer is made with barely and not gluten free.
Chrissy says
gluten free beer is not difficult to find at all. I live in PA so I can't say how easy it is to find in grocery stores but I know it's not very difficult to find as long as you're shopping at a place where the beer selection doesn't "top out" at miller high life.
Janelle says
Do you have a carb count on this? Or did I just miss it? Sorry!
Kyndra Holley says
It is now posted. Thanks 🙂
