As a Wisconsin native, I'm accustomed to a fantastic beer cheese soup. This is the recipe I've created, as a salute to my home state...America's Dairy land...and a state that brews a mighty fine beer! Serve with lots of popcorn floating on top!

Steps:
- Melt butter in large heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and salt. Sweat for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Sift the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the chicken stock and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
- Remove bay leaf. Turn off the heat, add the heavy cream, and then puree with an immersion blender or in a conventional blender*. Gradually add the cheese, 1 small handful at a time, and stir until melted before adding next handful. Stir in the Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and white pepper. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If soup is not hot enough, return to a low heat until warmed through.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: A good melting cheese is essential for a creamy and flavorful soup. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Fontina are all great options.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your soup. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables, the soup will be too thick and watery. Add them in batches, if necessary.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or beer for extra flavor.
- Serve with a crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious soup.
Conclusion:
Harp and cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also relatively easy to make, and you can easily customize it to your liking. So next time you are looking for a warm and hearty meal, give harp and cheese soup a try!
