Steps:
- Melt butter in large heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and salt. Sweat for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Sift the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the chicken stock and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
- Remove bay leaf. Turn off the heat, add the heavy cream, and then puree with an immersion blender or in a conventional blender*. Gradually add the cheese, 1 small handful at a time, and stir until melted before adding next handful. Stir in the Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and white pepper. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If soup is not hot enough, return to a low heat until warmed through.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: You can use a single type of cheese or a combination of cheeses to create a unique flavor profile. For example, you could use a sharp cheddar cheese with a mild Monterey Jack cheese or a creamy Brie cheese with a nutty Gouda cheese.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on the type of cheese soup you're making.
- Season your soup to taste: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for any soup, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some common additions include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Garnish your soup: Once your soup is cooked, you can garnish it with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, croutons, bacon bits, or chopped chives. This will add extra flavor and texture to your soup.
