As we get closer to my all time favorite month of October, I naturally start to gravitate towards beer-centric recipes. I guess it has something to do with Oktoberfest, that or there tends to be more pumpkin spice beers readily available, and those are super fun to play with in the kitchen.

In fact, an ‘October’ themed beer is what I used in this Skinny Beer Cheese Apple Soup! Don’t let the ‘skinny’ title of this soup fool you, it tastes AMAZING. Apples and cheese go together like peas and carrots, throw some beer in there too and you’ve got it made.

This soup is lightened up by beefing it up with fruit and veggies to counter act the cheese. It’s low carb annnnd soy free. Plus, you get a full serving for under 300 calories! Not too shabby if you ask me.

I served my soup with bacon crumbles and some green onions on top. I also paired it with a salad and some homemade rosemary bread. It all made for one super delicious dinner that almost everyone at the table went back to get seconds of.
