Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot over low heat, cook the onions, carrots and celery in the butter until the veggies are translucent, stirring frequently so that little to no browning takes place.

Add the flour. Stir until combined, then cook for 2 minutes over low heat.

Add the beer, chicken stock and heavy cream. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Stir in the dry mustard and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper.

Slowly whisk in the grated cheeses until thick and creamy.

Immediately before serving, garnish with garlic sourdough croutons or fresh popcorn.
