Canadian Cheese Soup
Canadian Cheese Soup is a rich, hearty soup made with smoky bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, vegetables, and a splash of lager for depth of flavor. Creamy and comforting, this classic pub-style soup is perfect for cold evenings and pairs wonderfully with crusty bread.

Add the milk and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, making sure the soup does not boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
