Cheese and Apple Soup

I made this for a party this weekend and it reminded me how amazing it is. Enjoy!

Cheese and Apple Soup

Melt 1/3 cup butter in saucepan. 

Whisk in 1/3 cup flour and 1/2 tsp salt. 

Stir until golden, then whisk in 2 1/2 cups milk.

Cook until thickened.

Then whisk in 3 cups shredded Gouda cheese (I also used a little bit of cheddar).

Whisk until smooth.

Stir in 2 cups of apple cider and warm through. 

Garnish with chives and apples sliced very thin.
