These creamy beer cheese soup shooters offer a cozy warmth and sophisticated vibe in a small, easy-to-handle package, perfect for entertaining and nostalgic comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ale or lager beer
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Chives or green onions, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out at room temperature.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and onions, whisking constantly to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, whisking to avoid lumps.
  4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to keep the mixture smooth. Then add the beer in a steady stream, continuing to whisk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the softened cream cheese in chunks, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly to melt evenly. Avoid boiling.
  6. Stir in mustard powder, salt, and pepper to taste. If using, add the heavy cream and simmer gently for another 2 minutes, stirring often until creamy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Ladle the soup into shooter glasses and garnish with chopped chives or green onions.

Notes

Use freshly grated cheese for best melting and texture. Avoid boiling after adding cheese to prevent separation. Adjust soup thickness with broth or beer as needed. Substitute ingredients for dairy-free or gluten-free versions as desired.
