I love soup! No secret there. The rest of my family is pretty meh on the whole idea of soup for dinner but this soup had so much flavor that they were calling the leftovers for lunch the next day right after dinner. It helps that I added some extra potatoes and carrots to bulk it up and made sure that it had plenty of cheesy flavor.
Verdict: This was a hit! You can use a dark beer or red beer, whichever you prefer, to add a hint of beer flavor to the cheesy potato soup. As always taste and adjust the spices at the end to what your family would like. Don’t think your family would like the Dijon – leave it out and adjust the rest of the spices.
I served this with a crusty loaf of hot bread for dipping. YUM!
