Ingredients

    1/4C onion, diced
    1/4C celery, diced
    1/4Ccarrot, diced
    2 jalapenos, seeds & membranes removed, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2T butter
    1T hot sauce
    4T flour
    1C dark beer (I like Dos Equis Amber)
    3C vegetable stock (you can use chicken stock, if
    you're not vegetarian)
    1/2C heavy whipping cream
    3C sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    1T Dijon mustard
    1t Worcestershire sauce (I use vegan)
    salt & pepper to taste
    red pepper flakes, for garnish


Directions

In a large pan, over medium heat, sauté` the onions, carrots, jalapenos, garlic, butter and hot sauce until the onions are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the flour to the sautéed vegetables and mix well.

Add the beer and whisk until all the flour is dissolved. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream and cheese, stirring often.

Allow the cheese to melt completely, then add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes while stirring often. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with red pepper flakes and serve.
