This sounds devine!
Your recipe states it is 4-6 servings. How big are those servings? I ask because, when my man eats soup, he has a special bowl that I always considered a serving dish before I met him. (LOL!) Would it be best, do you think, to just double the recipe?
Hi Melanie, I would say those are 4 to 6 decent-sized (“meal-sized”) bowls of soup. Not like a cup of soup on the side of a meal. Whether you double it or not depends on how many servings you ultimately want.
Wow, this looks delicious!
cheddar cheese goes perfect with almost any soup, the whole combination is simply perfect
This brings back memories of a soup I had last winter on a trip with my husband. I’ll have to make it tonight! Thanks for posting this recipe.
Oh wow, this sounds to die for
love how creamy your soup looks! Ale makes cheddar better. It just does. I would love a bowl of this!
What could I substitute for the ale? My husband can not have alcohol and this soup looks wonderful!
Hi Arlene, You can substitute an equal amount of chicken stock for the ale.
Ohhh, this looks good! I love all these soups your posting! I plan on making your minestrone soup this weekend!!
This looks so delicious and comforting right now, I want it ASAP!
My husband and I had soup like this on our honeymoon in Disney. And it always reminds me of the fun time we had and all the delicious foods we tried. I’m so excited to see this recipe!
This sounds great! As a Pittsburgh foodie… can’t you please find a recipe for Eat-n-Park’s potato soup!!!
mmmm… the perfect winter dish!
Beer and Cheese in a Soup! My hero!
I like having soup as a meal. Pair it with a salad or a hearty piece of bread and it’s a match made in heaven. This soup sounds delicious. I would imagine the ale gives it a flavor all it’s own. Thanks for sharing!
I just love any soup with cheese, potato and bacon, Yum!
What is ale exactly? Can you find it in a grocery store?
Hi Jeralyn, Ale is beer. Whether or not you can find it in a grocery store depends on your state liquor laws. Some states do not permit the sale of alcohol in grocery stores and you would need to visit a beer distributor, while other states have special sections of the store in which they carry alcohol.
HELLO lovely! Awesome!
The perfect soup on this rainy Pittsburgh day.
I clipped a similar recipe from the Tampa Tribune a long time ago, and I have no idea where it went. This will work!
This is my kinda soup!!!!!
This looks stunning! One of my husbands favorite soups. I am going to have to make this for him soon!
This soup looks absolutely perfect. I am pinning it right now so that I will not forget to try it. I need this soup on my menu next month, and I cannot wait to try it.

Yum! This soup looks warm and comforting… I could certainly use a nice warm bowl on this chilly and dreary day!
Minus the bacon – this looks like a fantastic idea!
This sounds wonderful for a cold, winter day! Thinking this would be an awesome crowd pleaser for Superbowl Sunday!
Beer and white cheddar really do the trick in a potato soup! Love it!
Perfect meal for a chilly night!
this is creamy and it looks delicious, I would love to make this for dinner.
Comfort food for sure. The consistency of your soup looks just perfect. Sounds and looks delicious.
@jeralyn: Ale = beer! You can’t get it at grocery stores in MA, where I am, but some other states do have combined stores.
If we’re getting all specific, ale is different from lager, so check the label – but know that both ales and lagers can be light or dark, delicious or not so much.
I’m curious too if there’s something you could use in place of the Ale to get a similar flavor or would it be best to omit that all together? Thanks!!
Hi Becky, You can substitute the same amount of chicken stock for the ale. Enjoy the soup!
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it – especially when it’s cold outside!
Beautiful and delicious!Love the consistency and flavors in there!
Wonderful soup, I am trying to cut out the dairy but I would still go for a nice bowl of this. Sounds divine.
This soup looks fabulous! Hearty and comforting for the winter!
Looks delicious! I’ve made cheese soup many times but have never gone the ale route with it. I need to give this a try.
Yummy! I love soups, I love creamy soups, I love potato soups. I want a big bowl of this soup right now!!!
I could eat this right now! Yum!
Totally bursting with flavors…Yum! Is there anything that I can use instead of dry sherry? Thanks!
Hi Anna, I would probably just sub more chicken stock.
Cheddar & Ale, what more is needed? Simply delicious.
This soup is so beautiful and SMOOTH! Delish!
This soup sounds amazing! You cannot go wrong with beer and cheese!
Oh yes! Beer and cheese all togeher in a soup? I’m in. I don’t eat bacon (I know, right?) but I think I could still make this fab without. Great recipe!
OMG! I am sooooo Making this very very very soon! Amazing!
I made this this weekend and it was absolutely delicious! I used RF cheese and FF half and half, but otherwise I made it the same, you couldn’t even tell I swapped out lower fat ingredients. Even splitting it into 6 portions it was a generous size. Definitely will be making this again!
Bacon, beer, cheese?!? Um, that is my kind of soup!!!
This soup seriously looks and sounds amazing. My husband always says that soup isn’t a meal but when I tell him what is in this soup, he will change his mind! I just know it. I can’t wait to get in the kitchen and get to cooking! Thanks for the beautiful post.
Yum, this sounds amazing. What could be better then beer, bacon, cheese and potatoes? Not much-thanks for sharing!
Boy that looks incredible. So warming and comforting. I could go for a bowl right now. Thanks for this yummy soup. Can’t wait to try it.
Oh this looks good!! The cheese and potato/bacon sound amazing!
THIS was delicious! I tweaked it a bit. I left out the cheddar as I tried it both ways and it’s great without. Added a touch of fresh rosemary finely chopped. AND….some chuncks of sauteed white fish (I used Tilapia)….It became the most delicious chowder!
