Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups chicken broth
½ cup diced carrots
⅓ cup chopped onions
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (16 ounce) jars processed cheese spread (such as Cheese Whiz®)
1 pint half-and-half
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 ⅓ cups milk
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

Stir chicken broth, carrots, onions, and black pepper together in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir cheese spread, half-and-half, beer, milk, and Worcestershire sauce into the broth; cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese spread melts completely into the mixture, 5 to 7 minutes.
Whisk flour and butter together in a small bowl; stir into the mixture in the saucepan until smooth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the soup is thickened, about 1 hour.
