From: Rabbit Hill Inn, Lower Waterford, Vermont
 
1 cup diced onion 
1/2 cup diced celery 
1/2 cup diced carrot 
2 teaspoons minced garlic 
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter 
8 Tablespoons flour 
1 teaspoon dry mustard 
4 cups chicken stock 
2 cups heavy cream 
1-1/2 pounds grated Vermont Cheddar Cheese 
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
Salt and pepper to taste
|
Melt butter in soup pot. when hot, add onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Saute 
for 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour and dry mustard on top, reduce heat, and 
stir to incorporate constantly for 10 minutes. Add chicken stock 1 cup at a 
time, whisking to incorporate each time. Add heavy cream, bring to a boil, and 
simmer for 45 minutes.

Strain into another pot. Add cheese and Worcestershire sauce and whisk to 
incorporate and melt. You may need to return this mixture to heat to help melt 
the cheese. If so, use a low flame or a double boiler so mixture does not burn. 
Season with salt and pepper. You may vary this soup presentation at this time by 
adding ham, sun-dried tomatoes, grilled chicken, or croutons. 
Yields: 12 servings.
