This is a recipe I came up with when my sister asked if I could "reproduce" a beer-cheese soup they enjoyed at a restaurant, Moosejaw, in the Wisconsin Dells. Well, I've never even eaten there so I was going off of how she described it to me (and it took me a few experiments in the kitchen!) but, when she sampled the finished product, she gave it two thumbs up!
I hope your family will love it too!

Beer Cheese Soup
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
* 1 T butter
* ½ c. chopped onion and ½ t minced garlic
* 1 t Worcestershire sauce
* ½ can or bottle of light beer
* 1 can chicken broth mixed with 3 T cornstarch
* 2 c. half and half (or whole milk)
* 2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
* 1 lb. sausage kielbasa, cubed and pre-cooked
* 1-2 c. cubed and pre-cooked potatoes
Melt butter and add onion, garlic and Worcestershire and stir. Add the beer and raise heat to high and boil 3 minutes to evaporate alcohol. Add chicken broth and bring to boil.

Sounds delicious! We recently made up a batch of homemade kielbasa; I guess your recipe was destined to be tried in my kitchen. :) ~Lisa
This is awesome! I added some green and red pepper with the onion. Tastes just like Moose Jaw's.
Sounds awesome my dear, will have to try it soon.
I made this tonight, Tara. It was excellent! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks, Lisa--sounds like it would be even better with homemade sausage! Yum!
Krisie, love the idea to throw in some peppers, add a little hidden veggie, smart!
