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.

Absolutely loved this one! Husband ate 3 bowls! I’ll have to double it next time. I used Colby Jack cheese, not a fan of sharp cheddar. Used Coors Lite fir the beer. Also will add more sausage, celery & carrots had more liquid left than a nice blend of everything together. Definitely will make again & again!

Made this for the first time last night, and it was fantastic! I altered things a bit, since we weren't concerned about the gluten piece. I used a bottle of mexican beer (Victoria), and beef bone broth for the broth. After about 3.5 hours, I added some Tuscan kale, so it could soften before I added the cheese. I used extra sharp, because it's what I had, I also added just under a cup of some smoked gruyere that I had on hand. Toward the end of cooking time, like some others that commented, mentioned, I added cornstarch/water blend until I felt it was the consistency I wanted. My husband likes a little texture, so we garnished with pre-made wonton strips. The broth is so wonderful, and my husband cannot stop raving about this soup!

Fabulous soup! Trying to get out of figuring the numbers myself - can anyone tell me what the protein content is for this?

Really delicious recipe. Hubby and I loved it and my toddler even ate some ( don't freak out beer cooks off). I did mine in my instant pot- put everything but the cheese in the instant pot for 10 minutes on high with it sealed and then added the cheese, cream cheese and cream at the end while I had it on saute. I made this with keto pretzels and I'm so fat and happy right now.

Loved this! I especially like the zing from the red pepper flakes. Thank you!

This is super good! Thanks- not worried about carbs or gluten, but, as hops are an issue for me,, I used a really good chard cider. and smoked "beer" sausage made locally. Definitely a keeper for those cold winter nights!
