2 tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup warm lager beer

Directions
1. In a Dutch oven or soup kettle combine the first five ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender (about 20 minutes). With potato masher, mash vegetables.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in the flour and whisk constantly for one minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for two minutes (mixture will be thick.).
