👨🍳 Cooking Steps
1
Start out by melting up the butter on medium heat.
2
Add in the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook it all for a good 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the flour to the pan and stir it in well.
4
Next up you'll add in the beer and the broth.
5
Let the soup heat up to a gentle boil.
6
Once your broth hits a gentle boil, turn the heat down to low and add in the the half & half and the cheese.
7
Allow the cheese to melt completely and then add in the mustard, worcestershire, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
8
Grab your immersion blender and smooth out your soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree batches in a blender. Just make sure you don't fill it more than a third full at a time and cover it tightly so you don't end up with a soupy mess.
9
Add a bit of salt to taste and you're ready to enjoy a big ol' bowl of true Wisconsin love.
