🥗Healthier: medium cheddar cheese

Medium cheddar is lower in fat, while processed cheese is often cheaper and melts well.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat until foamy.

Add chopped onion, celery, and carrot; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables; stir to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain; bring to a simmer.

Add milk and continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to low; gradually stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Season with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
