Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Carrot |
| 1 | Celery |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 | Garlic clove |
| 2 tbsp | Canola oil |
| 6 cups | Chicken broth |
| 2 cups | Cheddar cheese |
| 1 tbsp | Flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Dry mustard |
| 1 tsp | Tabasco sauce |
| 1 tsp | Worcestershire sauce |

Instructions:
-
Saute the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the chopped carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.

Simmer with Chicken Broth: Once the vegetables are tender, pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare Cheese Mixture: While the broth is simmering, prepare the cheese mixture. In a bowl, toss the cheddar cheese with flour and dry mustard until the cheese is coated evenly.
-
Thicken Soup: Gradually add the cheese mixture to the simmering broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue simmering until the soup thickens slightly.

Incorporate Beer: Pour in the beer and continue stirring the soup. Let it simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Season to Taste: Add Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce to the soup, adjusting the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

Final Touches: If desired, add sliced knockwurst to the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking for an extra savory touch.
