[Fidissimus]

WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE SOUP
Makes 6 Cups
Total Time: 40 minutes

Saute in 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter; Add:
1 cup yellow onion, diced small
1/2 cup celery, diced small
1 t. garlic, minced

Stir in; Add:
1/4 cup all-purpose GF flour
2 t. dry mustard
1 1/2 t. kosher salt
1 t. ground white pepper

Whisk in:
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups 2% milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Stir in:
4 cups white Cheddar cheese, grated (about 12 oz.)

Garnish and Serve with:
Tomatoes, seeded, diced
Chopped fresh parsley

Saute onion and celery in butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Cook for 10 minutes; add the garlic and saute 1-2 minutes more.

Stir in the flour to coat the vegetables.

Add dry mustard, salt and white pepper. Stir constantly 2-3 minutes to prevent scorching.

Whisk in wine - mixture will be a bit clumpy. That's okay. Now whisk in the broth, milk and cream, scraping the bottom of the pot. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.

Stir in cheese; remove from heat. Continue stirring until cheese is completely melted.

Garnish soup with tomatoes and parsley. Serve immediately.
