Hot Beer Soup, or Heisse Biersuppe in German, is a traditional soup often served in Bavaria during the cold winter months. This comforting soup is made with light beer, sugar, egg yolks, sour cream, cinnamon, and other seasonings. The sweetness of the sugar and the spiciness of the cinnamon pair well with the mild bitterness of the beer, creating a unique and satisfying flavor. This recipe makes a great appetizer for a holiday party or a cozy meal on a chilly night.

Instructions

1.	Add the beer and sugar to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by half.
2.	In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
3.	Gradually add 1 cup of the hot beer mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
4.	Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot beer mixture, stirring constantly.
5.	Cook the soup over low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened.
6.	Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or croutons, if desired.
