Cheddar Baked Potato Soup

My husband's genie powers win again. I swear I'm going to end up loving all the foods I hate. I just hope he doesn't try chow mein next - ick! I am now a partial beer lover. If beer is cooked into my food, I will devour it like a crazy ravenous person.

This soup was no exception. It was all the goodness of a regular, run-of-the-mill potato soup with beer and cheese to make it this extraordinarily delicious soup that is not your typical potato soup!
