Vermont Cheddar Cheese Soup

A creamy, comforting soup made with sharp Vermont cheddar cheese, vegetables, and a hint of beer for depth of flavor.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, beer, and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until the soup has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra shredded cheese if desired.
