Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons - butter divided
- 4 cups - chopped yellow onion
- 3/4 cups - sliced celery
- 8 - medium Yukon Gold potatoes coarsely chopped
- 1 bottles - 12 oz. Irish red ale (like Smithwick's)
- 4 cups - reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- - freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons - flour
- 4 cups - whole or 2% reduced fat milk
- 7 ounces - grated cheese (Gruyere and sharp white Cheddar)
- 3/4 cups - finely minced parsley
- 4 ounces - crumbled blue cheese

Directions:
1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 6-to-8-quart stockpot. Add onion and celery; cook over medium heat about 10 minutes.
2. Add potatoes, ale, broth, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
3. Melt remaining butter in a saucepan; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook 3 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in milk, whisking until thickened. Add cheese; stir until melted.
4. Stir cheese mixture into potato mixture until combined. Cook over very low heat for 10 minutes. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with parsley, blue cheese and bacon, if using.
