Cheese Beer Soup

I have personally never made this, but LOVED it as a kid! My grandmother (Mimi) would make it frequently when we were staying there. I keep thinking about making it sometime,but now waiting for colder weather.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter melted
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 quars chicken broth
1/2 cup onions finely chopped
1/2 cup celery finely chopped
1/2 cup carrots finely chopped
1/2 lb cheddar cheese cubed
1 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 oz)can of beer
1/2 cup parsley chopped
1/2 tsp salt
dash white pepper

Add flour to butter and brown. Slowly add stock, stirring constantly with a whisk. Cook until slightly thickened. Add vegetable. Simmer 20 minutes. Stir until cheese is melted. Add milk and beer, reduce heat immediately. Add parsley and cook at reduced heat another 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
