10-Minute Tater Tot Beer Cheese and Chives Soup

10-Minute Tater Tot Beer Cheese and Chives Soup

10-Minute Tater Tot Beer Cheese and Chives Soup 1You don’t have to make a decision.

There’s no pressure to decide if you really want to give this a try, or if you think it’s a new deviant low in beer cooking. It can always be both. More than anything, its a reminder. Don’t look both ways before crossing the food trend street. Don’t check the paper next to you  when searching for the right answer to whether or not something is desirable. Blink. What’s your blink reaction? There needs to be no further explanation. There needs to be no additional analysis. This seems to be difficult. It’s hard, in a way, to just like what we like because we like it. We seem to need constant validation as to our decision making and preferences.

Let’s just stop. Let’s just like stuff, because, well, we like it. Let’s drink without checking reviews on Untapped or Beer Advocate. Let us eat, cook with, order and enjoy stuff regardless of trending hashtags. Just for a while, just to see how it feels.

You had me at cheese. No, at chives. No, at tots. Speaking of tots, I think I should get some parachute pants with pockets so I can tote these to class.

Amazing!

I use Sriracha, but you can use Tapatio, Tabasco, or any red pepper sauce you like.

Would not recommend this recipe, recipe had a strong bitter beer flavor, couldn’t finish it.

I’m sorry Sandy! But it sounds like instead of a wheat beer or pale lager like recommended that you instead used an IPA? The correct beer would not have given a strong bitter taste, it’s really important to use the beer listed not just any beer.
