Best Ever Beer Cheese Soup

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups beer (lager or ale works best)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Add in the diced carrots and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly browned.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and beer, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  5. Slowly stir in the shredded cheese and heavy cream until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the soup is too thick, you can add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives or green onions if desired. Enjoy your hearty bowl of beer cheese soup!
