One of the most beloved of restaurants in Birmingham, AL

One of our favorite dishes was their
FAMOUS BEER CHEESE SOUP!
The recipe was very secret.
Many, many years later
my Mother has agreed to allow me to share.

Yummy! I love cheese soup...
ReplyDeleteI have a beer cheese dip recipe from the 70s...and it was good! This recipe is similar...can't wait to try it. (Maybe when the heat index is below 90 degrees...make that 80.)

ReplyDeleteThis sounds so great! It's cracking me up that such a fancy restaurant would use CheezWhiz though! That's awesome. I ate at Baby Doe's one time-- I was about 13 I think and it was SUCH a big deal for us to go there.
ReplyDeleteClever use of cheese whiz. Thanks for sharing this interesting twist on cheese soup. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteMemories!! I ate at Baby Does when I was a freshman in high school, going to the prom with a senior. My dress was baby blue and the boy had on a white tux :) And yes, I think I had the beer cheese soup!
ReplyDeleteOh....you KNOW that I will! :) TY!
