I need to ask Leslie what sort of alcohol would go good in this?

I'll have Jack Daniels left from making the bread pudding.....;)....

[LeslieDean]

Bottle of beer compliments this type of soup. Just add to the broth! If you have any jack Daniels left you didn't do it right ;-)

[LeslieDean]

Have not made this yet this winter. Thanks for the reminder. It is so yummy!

[Joey]

Oh,yeah beer sounds good...off to the store....what do you think of Killian's beer? Is that good? I am not a beer person but it's on special this week .

[LeslieDean]

Not familiar with it but I love anything on special

[LeslieDean]

I wish it were colder here more often to make more soups like this one. Sounds good. I might try a stout beer in it
