buffalo bills beer cheese soup
(1 rating)
My guys like this soup on a cold Sunday afternoon in front of the fire, and the TV with a rousing football game. I first started making this soup for them when we were living in Western NY and cheering on the Buffalo Bills. Personally I'll eat it anytime and anywhere.

3I love to serve this soup in bread bowls. I make my onion-rye rolls into small breads and scoop them out. I sometimes make croutons from scooped out bread.
