At PerfectDraft, we love exploring unique culinary combinations featuring beer. After the success of our Tripel Karmeliet jam recipe, we couldn’t stop there! Here’s a new idea that’s both surprising and delicious, guaranteed to warm you up during the colder months.
Introducing: Victoria soup !
This is just one take on the recipe, and you can of course adapt it. For example, try using a Goose Island IPA for a touch of bitterness, or Camden Pale Ale for more malty, herbaceous notes. Here, we’ve chosen Victoria for its rich and sweet character to create a truly indulgent soup. Ready to get cooking?
