Baby Doe's Matchless Mine was a theme restaurant chain (now closed) that was designed to look like a mineshaft. One of the famous recipes to come out of the restaurant was this rich beer cheese soup. Made with none other than... Cheez-whiz.

  30-60 minutes

8 cups milk
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce, or to taste
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons chicken seasoning base

    Hey Ray, I worked at Baby Doe's in Columbus in '87 as well! Were you a bartender, wait staff or kitchen? Our manager Ed used to let me snack on the beer cheese soup because he knew i was broke. :) Was Ed your manager?
