While the beer cooks and the alcohol evaporate off it lends a delicious depth of flavor to this soup when combined with cream and cheese blend. Add a little more Cayenne if you like a little heat for flavor. Serve with a stack of crackers and a dollop of cream to finish it off. I also suggest pairing it with our Pumpkin Beer Bread for a truly filling meal.

Now you can use whatever beer you have on hand or whichever your favorite is. In the past, I have used Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer but recently started using Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Spice beer and it's what I will use every time now it's really good in both the soup and the bread!
