Ingredients:  
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups whole milk

Directions:
In a large heavy saucepan melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and peppers and saute until
vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute for
2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2
minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock, milk and heavy cream.
Bring soup to a boil and reduce heat so that the soup barely
simmers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the soup is very thick
and flavorful, about 20 minutes. Add the grated cheese in 1/2
cup increments, stirring after each addition until completely
melted and smooth. Do not allow soup to boil. Season with
salt and cayenne pepper, to taste.
Serve in shallow bowls, topped with some crumbled crispy
bacon bits, a dollop of salsa or crem fraiche, and chopped
with parsley if desired.
