Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 stick (1/4 cup unsalted butter)
1 medium yellow onion (diced (2 cups))
1 medium carrot (diced small (1/2 cup))
1/2 celery stalk (diced small (1/4 cup))
2 medium garlic cloves (minced (2 teaspoons))
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage (4-5 medium leaves - or 1/2 teapoon dried)
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
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)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 3/4 pound)
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (about 1/4 pound)
Pinch or two of ground nutmeg (to taste (I add about 1/8 teaspoon))
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • 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 the milk, vegetable broth, and beer in a stream, whisking well. Return to a simmer and cook for about five more minutes until very slightly thickened.
  • Stir in the pumpkin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Add handfuls of cheese, stirring constantly. Cook until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Remove bay leaf and serve.
