Ingredients
64 ounces Irish lager beer (such as Harp)
25 ounces chicken stock
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons white pepper
2 pounds peeled and diced potatoes
2 ounces cornstarch
6 ounces water
1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
8 ounces Cheddar cheese sauce
Directions
In a large pot over medium heat, combine the Irish lager beer, chicken stock, onion powder, and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the diced potatoes to the boiling liquid and cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved and smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to thicken slightly.
Add the shredded Cheddar cheese one handful at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully melted and incorporated.
Remove the pot from heat and whisk in the Cheddar cheese sauce until fully blended.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve immediately while hot.
