Step 5: Add the Milk: Pour in the 4 cups of milk and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.
Important: Keep the heat low and make sure the soup does not reach a hard boil once the milk is added, as this can cause the dairy to separate.
Step 6: Cheese and Spice: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 lb of grated cheddar cheese, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Step 7: Blend and Finish: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is mostly smooth (you can leave a few bits of bacon for texture if you prefer).1 Stir in the 1/2 cup of lager and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.
