I visited Tilted Kilt in Chino California recently and enjoyed a cup of their cheesy beer soup. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to recreate something like it at home. Not really knowing all the ingredients besides it having tons of delicious cheese, beer, and some spice I decided to take a stab at it...

Double Cream

 
 
What is double cream you ask? Do you live in the U.S.? If so, no… they do not sell double cream. 

If you live somewhere like the U.K., then yes, you can find double cream. Double cream is used quite often in the U.K.

In the U.S., a close substitute would be heavy cream, or heavy whipping cream (both the same thing, just two different names)...
