Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 large Carrot, finely diced
• 1 large Celery stalk, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Amber or lager beer
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
• 0 Crusty bread or pretzels (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the beer to the pot and stir to combine. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded cheddar and Gruyere cheeses, a handful at a time, stirring until fully melted and smooth.

Step 7

Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Simmer the soup gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well combined and the soup is creamy.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped chives, and serve with crusty bread or soft pretzels on the side if desired.
