Beer Cheddar Soup

I've never tried beer cheddar soup before until I saw it on the food network channel and I was intrigued and thought I would try it.  How bad could it be, it has beer and cheddar.  It has to be good.  So I decided to make it and let me tell you, I loved it.  It is delicious.  Here are the ingredients you'll need:

• 64 ounces beer
• 25 ounces chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons white pepper
• 2 pounds peeled and diced potatoes
• 2 ounces cornstarch
• 6 ounces water
• 1 pound Cheddar, shredded
• 8 ounces Cheddar cheese sauce

In a pot add the beer, chicken stock, onion powder and white pepper and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the soup and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the shredded Cheddar, 1 handful at a time. Turn off the heat and whisk the cheddar until smooth.  Serve hot.  Enjoy!
