Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 9 cups of beer 🍺
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups of sour cream
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
• 3/4 cup of Swiss cheese, shredded
• 6 cups of bread cubes, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beer Base:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the beer to a gentle boil, covered. This will help release the flavors and aromas of the beer.

2. Mix the Egg Yolk Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sour cream, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until well blended. This mixture will add richness and creaminess to the soup.

3. Combine the Ingredients:

   • Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a large saucepan over low heat. Slowly pour in the hot beer, stirring constantly to ensure everything is well combined. Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as it may cause the eggs to curdle.

4. Assemble the Soup Bowls:

   • To serve, divide the bread cubes evenly into six warmed soup bowls. This will provide a hearty base for the soup.

5. Add the Finishing Touches:

   • Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the bread cubes in each bowl. The cheese will melt slightly and add a delicious gooeyness to the soup.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Pour the hot beer soup over the cheese and bread cubes in each bowl. The soup is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while it’s hot for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Tips:

• Beer Selection: Choose a beer with flavors that you enjoy, as it will heavily influence the taste of the soup. A light lager or ale works well, but feel free to experiment with different varieties to find your favorite.

• Consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can adjust the amount of cornstarch or sour cream accordingly. Add a little more cornstarch for extra thickness, or more sour cream for added creaminess.

• Garnish Options: Get creative with your toppings! Try adding crispy bacon bits, chopped chives, or a dollop of sour cream on top of each serving for added flavor and visual appeal.

• Serve with Pretzels: For an authentic German touch, serve the Biersuppe with warm pretzels on the side. The salty pretzels pair perfectly with the rich flavors of the soup and add a delightful crunch to every bite.

• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat before serving, being careful not to let it boil to prevent curdling.

Enjoy this hearty and comforting Biersuppe with your loved ones, and savor the delicious flavors of Germany in every spoonful! Prost! 🍻
