Saute carrots, celery, and jalapenos in butter until tender. Add

Add stock; slowly whisking while pouring. Simmer for about
25 minutes.

Remove soup from heat and whisk in cheese, a small amount at a time
until mixture is smooth. Blend in cream. Add Worcestershire sauce,
mustard, beer, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until well blended. Add ham
and scallions. Season with salt and hot sauce.

For a thinner soup, add more stock if desired.
