Butternut-Ale Soup
This soup was inspired by two dishes that I enjoyed during my recent trip to St. Louis. The first was a hearty butternut squash at The Farmhaus , and the second was a cheddar-jalapeno soup made with Budweiser at the Anheuser-Busch brewery . I took what I found to be the best aspects of each soup and combined them. Fall is a great time for a butternut squash soup, but I thought that I could bring some beer to the party.

Cheater French Onion Soup
I am a fool for some good French onion soup. Unfortunately, most of the common restaurant fare is thin, salty and vacuous. It seems as though they just dumped some onions in some beef broth, let it reduce a little, then dish it up with a slab of bread and a glob of cheese. You might think that this recipe looks like what I just described.

Corn Chowder
I don't know what kind of winter weather you're experiencing in your neck of the woods, but ours has been brutally cold for nearly a month. It's the kind of cold that reminds me of my Air Force days in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. OK, it's not really that bad, but it is the kind of cold that calls for a nice hot bowl of hearty soup. Corn chowder is a beautiful and glorious thing. It's rich, thick, creamy, and of course corny, with just a hint of bacon. What's not to like?
