Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Butter

    In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux.

  4. 4

    Add the Broth and Beer

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and then the beer, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cheesing it Up

  1. 5

    Incorporate Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese to the pot. Stir until melted and smooth.

  2. 6

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving
