Servings: 6

Ingredients

Unsalted butter (4 tablespoons)
Onion, diced (1 medium)
Garlic, minced (3 cloves)
All-purpose flour (1/4 cup)
IPA beer (1 cup)
Chicken broth (3 cups)
Heavy cream (1 cup)
Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups)
Chives, chopped (1/4 cup)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for another minute, allowing it to absorb the butter and flavors, creating a roux.
Slowly whisk in the IPA beer, ensuring there are no lumps, followed by the chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure an even consistency.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it is completely melted and the soup is smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting accordingly to enhance the flavors.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant touch.
