Procedure

Using a large sauce pan (soup pot), melt butter on medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for five minutes.
Next add Worcestershire, cayenne, mustard, salt and white pepper, cooking for an additional five minutes. Add the flour and stir constantly for one minute, until bubbling.
Gradually stir in the broth, cream and beer and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Add your cheeses and stir until melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently until ready to serve. Try not to let the soup come to a full boil.

Dicks Tips
----
When stirring in flour Dick, it tends to clump up. An easy trick to smooth things out is to use a wire whisk here instead of a spoon. Also, milk products will burn easily and stick to the bottom of the pan if the heat is too high and it sits too long. (And it's a nightmare to clean.) So have your final ingredients on hand, close to the stove so that you can stir the soup constantly.
Your mustard spice and will be in the spices section Dick. The Worcestershire and white pepper should already be in your cupboard since they’re Dick Staples, but if not you'll find the Worcestershire in the condiments section by the sauces. The Dick Factor: Fancy this up by serving with fresh parsley or some Dick's Croutons floating on the soup bowl.
Chili on a Bender
