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.

Tips for Making the Best Harp and Cheese Soup:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a good quality broth. Don't skimp on the ingredients, or you'll end up with a bland soup.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a crunch. If you overcook them, they'll become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, or Gouda.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make harp and cheese soup. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or experiment with different types of cheese. You might be surprised at what you come up with!

Harp and cheese soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give harp and cheese soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
