Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Soup
What you need:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 small onion, diced finely
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. mustard powder
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup beer or chicken broth

- Bacon, cooked and crumbled, or garlic croutons
- Parsley, chopped or dried
Directions:
- Melt butter over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan. Add onions and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring constantly. You want your onions soft, but not browned.
- Add mustard powder and flour, stirring as you go, so there are no lumps. Cook for one minute.
- Pour in 2 cups of milk, stirring as you go, again NO LUMPS!
- Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and season with cayenne, Worcestershire, salt and pepper.
- Add corn; stir. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add cheese and stir until melted. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Adjust seasonings accordingly and serve with bacon or croutons and parsley.
