Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Beer Cheese Soup

Creamy, savory, and full of cheesy flavor, this Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Beer Cheese Soup recipe is a fun and flavorful dish to serve during the fall season. It’s great for football-watching get-togethers, for a soup-and-salad lunch date with friends, or for a make-ahead lunch to take to work. It’s simple to make, with just a few ingredient tips to follow.

First, to make this dairy-free, I used Loca’s delicious potato-based queso. This dairy-free cheese sauce doesn’t contain soy or nuts like other dairy-free cheeses. Second, you have to make sure the beer you get is gluten-free (not gluten-removed). Gluten-free beer is made with gluten-free grains, where gluten-removed beer is made from gluten-containing grains and then gets an enzyme added to “remove” the gluten, but many people with celiac report symptoms from this type of beer, so it’s safest to go with gluten-free. Redbridge is an easy to find gluten-free beer. Glutenburg is also pretty easy to find. Be sure to select something mild, like a lager or pilsner style.
