2 cups vegetable broth
1 12-oz bottle pumpkin ale (I use Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt like kosher salt (can use table salt, but I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon to start as it's a little harsher)

Pinch or two of ground nutmeg (to taste (I add about 1/8 teaspoon))

  • Melt butter to a four-quart or larger saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, and bay leaf. Saute, stirring frequently, for another minute.
  • Add the flour and continue cooking over medium low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes.

  • Add handfuls of cheese, stirring constantly. Cook until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Remove bay leaf and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor.
