Meanwhile, in a small pot, bring the beer to a boil over medium heat and

Cheddar cheese, stirring until melted. Transfer this mixture to a blender.
Add 1 cup of the onion soup and blend until smooth. Reserve. Remove the
onion mixture from the heat and strain. Reserve the liquid. Transfer the
onions to a blender or food processor and puree until very smooth. Return
the puree to the pot, add the reserved liquid and the Cheddar cheese
mixture. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve piping hot in a tureen.
