Absolutely amazing! I used an Amber beer and then let it sit over night! If you have never done a Roux (the flour and butter mixture in the beginning), look it up online and learn about how to do it. It’s the base of your soup, and if your soup tastes off then the chances are it’s the Roux. Thanks for sharing!
