Instructions:

Saute Vegetables: In a heavy soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped celery ribs, diced sweet onion, and cayenne pepper. Saute lightly until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the beer and milk, using the empty soup cans to measure the milk and beer accurately. Stir in the condensed cheddar cheese soup until well combined.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and slightly thickened.
-
Add Cheese: Once the soup is heated through, gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s fully melted and incorporated into the soup. This will add an extra layer of creaminess and richness to the dish.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into individual cups or bowls. Before serving, top each portion with a generous handful of freshly popped popcorn. The popcorn adds a delightful crunch and texture to the soup, balancing out the creamy richness of the cheese and beer.
