PROCEDURE

1. Bring all cream and seasonings of part A to a high simmer in a medium stock pot, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Whisk in cheeses a handful at a time and continue stirring until cheese dissolves and sauce is smooth. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, whisking frequently.

2. While cream is coming up to temperature start on Part B. Sauté garlic, shallots and roasted garlic in butter, in a large stock pot over medium heat until aromatic. Alternate whisking in some of the beer and all of the flour to form a thick slurry or roux and simmer for 5 minutes then whisk in chicken stock and remaining beer, continue to simmer an additional 10 – 15 minutes whisking often.
3. When both parts are ready, add slurry to cream, whisk well to blend and simmer over medium-low heat for a few minutes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings as desired.

Excellent! Thanks!

Enjoy, guys!

FYI: Don't swap out the mozza as some have been tempted to do in the past, it helps a lot with consistency.

FYI2: this is NOT the flour-pummelled soup at RB
