Garlic, Cheddar, And Stone Ruination Ipa Soup Recipe

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) Stone Ruination IPA
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 heads Roasted Garlic (recipe follows)
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 1/4 pounds white Cheddar cheese, grated
• Salt
• Freshly ground white pepper
• Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Cut the top 1/4 inch off of three heads exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Place it cut side up on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle the olive oil over the garlic and season with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Gather the foil up around the garlic, folding and twisting the top to seal.
2. Roast for 1 hour, then let the garlic cool completely. Use a fork to pull the roasted cloves out of their papery skin. Alternatively, you can squeeze the cloves out from the bottom using your hands.
3. Melt 3/4 cup of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking briskly to avoid lumps. Cook, stirring frequently, until the flour takes on a light blond color, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
4. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and minced garlic and cook just until the garlic is aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock, IPA, and milk. When the liquid begins to simmer, stir in the garlic, paprika, and cumin. Using a handheld immersion blender or in a regular blender, puree until smooth. Whisk in the flour mixture. Add the cheese a handful at a time, whisking after each addition, until melted and smooth.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnishing each serving with some of the chives.
