Ingredients:
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 onion, finely minced
– 2 carrots, diced
– 2 stalks of celery, chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 2 cups milk
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking constantly to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
4. Stir in the milk and continue to cook until the soup is heated through but not boiling.
5. Reduce the heat to low and start adding the shredded cheddar cheese, a little at a time, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into the soup.
6. Add the Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
7. Let the soup simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Once ready to serve, ladle the Kasesuppe into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
