Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup

Recipe:

2. Add red onion, celery, and butter. Sauté until the onion has softened for about 5 minutes.
3. Add flour and cook your ingredients, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add milk and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil after the milk is added.
5. Remove you soup from the heat and add cheese, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend with an immersion blender until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth. Stir in warm beer. If the soup is too thick, thin with some warm milk.
6. Garnish your with chopped scallions or chives and serve!
