Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 bottle (12 ounces) Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2.5 cups, shredded Fiscalini Farms Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 loaf (optional) Crusty bread or croutons (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 6

Add the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to the pot and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, shredded Fiscalini Farms Cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Continue to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to let the soup boil after adding the cheese to prevent curdling.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with crusty bread or croutons, if desired.
