Sausage 'n Stout Cheese Soup

Cinco de Mayo - Soup, Stew and Chili

This is a super filling and flavorful beer cheese soup that will keep you asking for seconds. Because of the dark stout beer, this soup takes on a great flavor that everyone will love - especially the kids. I like using elk sausage in place of the kielbasa.
