1. In a large soup pot over medium high heat add the butter and let it melt.

Directions:

2. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes. We want to cook out the flour taste.

Directions:

3. It will start to turn a light golden brown, this is when you can add the onion and start to splash in the chicken stock.

Directions:

4. Slowly add chicken stock a few splashes at a time, stirring in between to let the sauce start to thicken.

Directions:

5. Once all the stock has been added, the mixture should be pretty thick and bubbly. Stir in shredded cheese and Boursin cheese and let it melt.

Directions:

6. Once the cheese melts in, add the beer 1/2 at a time. Same as with the stock, you want to let it thicken up a bit in between so keep stirring!

Directions:

7. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and whole grain mustard. Stir to combine.

Directions:

8. Add in diced potatoes the pot. The starch from the potatoes will continue to thicken the soup! So don't worry if it looks a little thin after adding the beer.

Directions:

9.  Let this simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Directions:

10. Using a hand held immersion blender blend the soup until about half of the potatoes are pureed. If you don't have a hand held blender, remove about 4 cups of soup and blend in a blender until smooth.

Directions:

11. Give it a taste and add salt if needed! If it still tastes bitter from the beer it may need more salt and continue cooking for 5 or so minutes.

Directions:

12. Serve with large soft pretzels and sliced green onion!

Directions:

Enjoy!
