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.

Extremely good!!! Mad double batch. Omitted carrots. Made stovetop.. Did add some cornstarch to thicken a bit. May use a bit less red pepper flake next time. Right on the edge of too much spice but not terribly hot either. Great recipe. Will make again.

This soup is delicious...I wish it were a bit thicker though. Any ideas on how to thicken it up? Also, do you have an approximate protein count for this soup? I keep track of my macros. Thanks

I would suggest mixing 1/8 of a teaspoon on xanthan gum with a bit of water, and then mix it in the soup. If it isn't thick enough mix up more. Good luck.
Paula says
I am wondering the same thing. I am going to try xanthan gum

Gingerb says
Oh my! This is amazing! I had no idea it would be so delicious. I made it on the stove top and it turned out great. I couldn't stop eating it. Yum!
Maria says
I'm thinking some radishes in this too... CAN NOT WAIT TO MAKE THIS!!
Stephen says
Omitting carrots and spicing it up with ginger and chunks of garlic is a good idea? We had tried it before and it tasted awesome.
Leah Solzak says
This is GOOOOD. We are on Keto so I omitted the carrots and added kale and mushrooms. I also made it on the stove top to save time. Sautéed the celery & onion with sausage then boiled for 1.5 hrs, added mushroom & greens, then followed remaining directions.

I made this in my crockpot...and devoured it all in a couple of days. Next time I'm doubling the recipe so I'll have some to freeze. Thanks for posting.

This was SOOOOO GOOOOD! Use Daura Damm GF beer (crafted to remove gluten), and a fantastic local WI sharp cheddar. I am so excited to make this again, and again! Thanks so much for all of the lovely, low-carb and gluten free recipes. It makes this busy mom's life so much easier. Blessings!
