Worst recipe I've tried from this website and TV shows. The flavor and texture were awful. One spoonful, then down the drain.

After reading the reviews, I almost didn't try this soup. As stated in most of the reviews, the soup turned out VERY thin...about the consistency of water, in fact!! The flavour, however was VERY yummy!!! I did not want to add any more flour or make more rue as I didn't want a floury taste or more fat added to it. I thought for a moment and decided to try potato flakes...this was a perfect addition to the soup...only changed the flavour slightly to a mild potato flavour!! I served the soup like that to the family, but added a couple dashes of worcester sauce to mine...added awesome flavour and when I make again will be adding this to the whole recipe.

Needs too many alterations to make this a good Cheddar Beer Soup. Way too liquidy! I added a lot of extra flour to thicken, but it was also way too oily.

This dish can be successful!!! I followed the instructions except I added about three time the flour. The soup thickened up nicely and had great flavor.

I thought the soup tasted to strong from the dark beer. Maybe try a lighter beer if you don't like dark beer...

The soup was really tasty. Based on reviews I read here first, I used three HEAPING tablespoons of flour for thickening (and used whole wheat flour based on personal preference - this gave us a great consistency and our soup wasn't too thin. We used Newcastle Brown Ale in our soup, and it was delicious. We also used exactly 2 cups of extra sharp cheddar in the soup, but didn't have fresh to grate so we used packaged... this was ok since we added it a little at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for it to melt completely before adding more, until all 2 cups was added. We didn't have any leftover to use as garnish on top. I think next time we'll use more cheese, but otherwise we loved it.

A delicious Soup.Warm,inviting to dredge spoon in and gather up as much as will hold.Flavours get better and better. Cannot decide What for Next Day's breakfast?Heat a steaming bowl of this divine liquid.Claire added 5 Tablespoons of Flour into Roux for Soup.Sharp Cheddar Is necessary.Reminds of Welsh Rarebit.Still better.One a fondue or over Toast.The other a Delectable Soup.Adding Porter Ale or a beer you would drink makes a Huge difference.Add some cooked Broccoli and a touch of Sugar.yes,makes a better Soup.A Brunch Idea as well.Next day,flavours meld to be even Better.Claire knows Her "Gastro~Pub Foods.

Not thick and creamy at all! On the show she said 3 tbsp of flour, yet she added at least 4 heaping tablespoons (I guess I should have done the same. Even with the extra flour, I don't think it would have been creamy though, just thicker. I added some half and half and more flour to thicken mine and it was still just o.k.

I just made this for my new hubby and it wasn't that bad... It was WAY too thin but next time I will make a thicker roue and add less broth! We added boiled potatoes and it was really yummy! It would have been so much better if would have been the thick consistency that she had on her show!

Terrible soup - I'm sure that if you add a bunch of ingredients you will get a good product - but the point is: 5 ingredients. It was incredibly thin (and I added 1 extra cup of cheese and had bad flavor. It didn't look a thing like what was made on the show which appeared thick and cheesy. This receipe is going directly in the trash. Waste of money and time!
