# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery; cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
02 - Add minced garlic and flour to the pot. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
03 - Gradually whisk in chicken or vegetable broth until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
04 - Stir in heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle boil.
05 - Add uncooked elbow macaroni. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer, cover pot with lid slightly ajar.
06 - Let soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add water if mixture becomes too thick.
07 - Turn off heat. Gradually stir in shredded cheddar until melted. Adjust seasoning with pepper and additional salt if needed.
