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:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your soup a richer, more complex flavor. A good combination is to use a hard cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan, a soft cheese, such as Brie or Camembert, and a spreadable cheese, such as cream cheese or Boursin.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add herbs, spices, vegetables, or even fruit to your soup. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, and pears.
- Make sure your cheese is melted smoothly. This will prevent it from curdling or becoming grainy. To melt cheese smoothly, use a low heat and stir constantly. You can also melt cheese in a microwave-safe bowl on high power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until melted.
- Serve your soup immediately. Cheese soup is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, let it cool completely before refrigerating. You can store cheese soup in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cheese soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a cheese soup that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cheese soup a try.
