Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Carrots, finely chopped
• 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 cup Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring constantly, to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour has a slightly nutty aroma.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese one handful at a time, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly into the soup.

Step 7

Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Step 8

Cook the soup for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is thick and creamy.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
