Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Flour

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Gradually pour in the chicken broth and ale, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese and Cream

    Once the soup is simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

  5. 5

    Season the Soup

    Season with salt, black pepper, dijon mustard, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with garlic croutons.
