- Beer – 1 cup
- Chicken broth – 3 cups
- Whole milk – 1 cup
- Heavy cream – ½ cup
- Sharp cheddar cheese – 2 cups shredded
- Cream cheese – 4 oz softened
- Dijon mustard – 1 teaspoon
- Paprika – ½ teaspoon

Instructions
Cook the Onion and Garlic
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook slowly until soft and fragrant. Stir often to avoid browning.
Make the Roux
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked onion mixture. Stir constantly for two minutes. This step removes raw flour taste and helps thicken the soup.
Add Beer and Broth
- Slowly pour beer into the pot while whisking. Add chicken broth next. Stir well and let the mixture simmer gently for five minutes.
Add Milk and Cream
- Pour in milk and heavy cream. Stir gently and keep heat low. Do not boil, or dairy may separate and ruin texture.
Add Cheeses
- Add cream cheese first and stir until melted. Slowly add shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until soup becomes smooth and creamy.
Season the Soup
- Add Dijon mustard, paprika, salt and black pepper. Stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep heat low.
Simmer and Serve
- Let the soup simmer for five more minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
- Use sharp cheddar for strong flavor.
- Shred cheese fresh for smooth melting.
- Keep heat low after adding cheese.
- Avoid boiling to prevent grainy texture.
