Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Add red onion and celery; sauté until softened.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine; cook for a few minutes.

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

Add milk and stir to combine and heat through.

Reduce heat and add white cheddar; stir until melted and smooth.

Season with hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce; mix well.

Simmer until thickened.
