We are always looking for good recipes without meat to fix on Fridays during the season of Lent, and this one fits the bill.

Barbara bookmarked this recipe in The Working Cook cookbook a long time ago, and finally got around to making it. She modified it a bit to fit her family.

This soup is a great dinner option, especially when served with your favorite crackers.

Another great thing about this soup is that you can fix it in a large skillet or even a medium-sized soup pot on the stove top.

This recipe uses 8 ounces of fresh spinach which looks a bit overwhelming when you add it to the skillet but do not worry. Once it cooks down, the spinach will wilt and be the perfect amount. If you aren’t a big fan of the stems on the spinach leaves, you can cut them off before adding.

How to Make Bavarian Spinach Beer Cheese Soup

Full recipe is below.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and then add onion. Saute until soft. Add spinach and beer and wilt down the spinach, stirring constantly. Add Alfredo sauce, Velveeta and crab meat and stir constantly over low heat until cheese is melted and soup is smooth. Add cream or milk if you’d like a thinner soup.
