Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 1 medium celery stalk, finely diced
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk. Let it warm through, but do not let it boil.

Step 6

Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, stirring to melt and incorporate before adding more.

Step 7

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Allow the soup to simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes to develop flavors. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers.
