How to Make Beer And Cheese Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 carrots, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 6 cups of beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add 12 ounces of beer (any light lager or ale works well).
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese, and 1 teaspoon of ground mustard. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick (optional).
  7. Slice 8 knockwurst into 1/2-inch thick rounds and add them to the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  8. Serve hot with toasted bagels. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley (optional).
