Crockpot Beer Cheese Soup

Two bowls of Crockpot Beer Cheese Soup in white bowls with pretzel rolls

My husband and I love Beer Cheese Soup. It’s totally a must order when we find it on a restaurant menu. It has to rank up there in the top ten best soups ever. So naturally, I started the quest to create a Crockpot Beer Cheese Soup that I could make at home.  Ya’ll know how much I LOVE my crockpot. 🙂

This here Crockpot Beer Cheese Soup is perfect for gatherings as well. Instead of having the usual chips and dip appetizers, present a crockpot full of the delicious soup to sip on. I highly recommend serving this soup up with some big ole’ pretzel buns for dunking. Better yet, if you can find pretzel soup bowls to serve this in, HELLO AMAZING!

Crockpot Beer Cheese Soup

  • 32 oz chicken broth ( or veggie broth to make vegetarian friendly)
  • 12 oz beer
  • 1 cup of carrots, finely diced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1 cup onion finely diced
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  1. Place all chicken broth, beer, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper into your crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
  2. Once time is up, remove lid and stir in shredded cheese, and heavy cream. Stir until cheese is melted. Next whisk in cornstarch. Recover and cook for 10-15 minutes longer.
  3. For a smooth soup (which we prefer for this soup), use and blend soup in batches, or use an immersion blender before serving.
  4. I served ours with fresh pretzel rolls from out local bakery.

    Hello! I just made this soup today, for my hubby’s Birthday. I let it cook in the crock-pot on HIGH for 6hrs. I stirred the cheese continuously after adding a cup of at a time. I ended up using 5 cups of cheese. Hubby LOVES this. Thanks for a great recipe. We live at 8,100ft so altitude does not affect it.

    The soup tasted pretty good and the cheese melted okay, but it turned out really watery (followed all the directions). I’m now adding some potatoes to it in the crockpot to see if it thickens up a bit.

    I use this recipe often as a base for my beer cheese soup. I just add potato, polish sausage, and bacon. For beer I use Leinie’s Oktoberfest. I also don’t blend it. After that, it is Wisconsin approved.

    I have made this soup several times, but I always make it on my stove top. I always use finely shredded sharp cheddar and I never have any problems with it melting. Also to avoid lumps and thicken the soup properly, I mix the cornstarch and cheese together in a bowl and whisk it in gradually. It works very well.
