    As written, this recipe cannot be good at all. I made a half batch, thankfully, but had to make many changes just to make it edible.

    There is way too much beer--it makes it bitter, cut it by half and increase the Chicken stock.

    Too much white pepper, cut to 1/3 of it.

    No slurry with corn starch. Rather, puree the potatoes after cooked. Then add a cup or more of half and half, or heavy cream.

    Add at least 50% more cheddar cheese... at least that much more, or double it.

    I agree with most of the other reviewers...this is NOT the same recipe that was on the show, and why make something that not only has bad reviews but isn't even comparable to what was actually on the show?? What a disappointment and a slap in the face to Blackthorn's!
    If a restaurant isn't willing to give out their "actual" recipe, then so be it...but don't post something inferior and try to pass it off as the original.

    The worst recipe EVER! The smell was horrific and it definitely was NOT the recipe that was on the show! Do not attempt... It was a total waste of time and $ for the ingredients I had to buy!!!

    I really liked it, double or even triple the cornstarch amount, beer cheese soup should be thicker. Also I added diced yellow onions to mine. Serve with cheese croutons or sourdough bread..it was great & easy to make.

    Very confusing. I just got done watching this episode which is why I decided to google for a recipe. I was surprised when I found a link for what was supposed to be the recipe from the restaurant. Until, of course, I came and read the reviews. Then, I re-wound the episode and this isn't even anything like the one on the show. Different ingredients, different cheeses. I can get chef's not wanting to give out their secret recipes, but why give out one that people is going to think was the one featured on the show? I'm glad I read these reviews first so I won't waste my time making this one.
