New Mexican Hatch Green Chili Beer Cheese Soup
Another great cooking with beer recipe from John 'JC' Curtis. This is a great beer cheese soup recipe for a cool Autumn night, but is equally at home any time of the year. This is an easy to make beer cheese soup that can be made with any type of cheese, but cheddar and Monterey jack are great. This beer cheese soup recipe is also good when you mix some different types of cheeses, but try to use mild cheeses to keep the beer and chiles from fighting with the cheese for top spot!

You can also use another golden or amber beer as the base, just don’t use a hoppy beer or the bitterness may overwhelm the soup.
Serves 4 for reduced portion before dinner or 2, if used as a light dinner.
Notes
Don’t boil after you add the cream
