Glenn Lindgren: In Minnesota and Wisconsin, everyone eats beer cheese soup, a creamy combination of sharp cheddar cheese and good American beer. It's a great dish on a cold day. For some reason, it's always served with fresh popcorn on top.
Raúl Musibay: In Miami, where the days are never cold and rarely cool, we enjoy our own cheese soup. There is no beer in it -- although that might not be a bad idea!
Jorge Castillo: Sopa de crema de queso is made with a cheese that was very popular in Cuba: Gouda cheese. It's a great tasting cheese that melts easily and makes a deliciously rich soup. The perfect place to dip your hunk of freshly baked Cuban bread.
