Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 large head of broccoli finely chopped
1 carrot grated
¼ tsp paprika
2 cups half & half
3 cups cheddar cheese grated or shredded
kosher salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the stock and whisk to combine. Continue whisking, being sure to break up any flour clumps. Bring to a boil and add the broccoli, carrot, and paprika. Reduce the heat to low and cook the vegetables for 20 minutes.
Add the half & half and bring to a simmer. Slowly add the cheese, whisking in a handful at a time, until soup is creamy and well incorporated. Season to taste.
