Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter 1 stick
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 4 cups vegetable stock chicken stock or water
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets and stems
  • 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
  • 3 cups (12 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a stockpot over medium heat and saute the diced onions for 5 minutes to soften. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  • Pour 1 cup of the vegetable stock into the pot. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to thicken and becomes smooth with no visible lumps of flour. Add the remaining 3 cups of stock, half and half, broccoli, carrots, salt, pepper and garlic powder, stir and cover with lid. Simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Add the cheese to the soup and stir until melted. Check seasonings and add more if desired. Serve immediately.
