Ingredients

Steps

Melt the butter in a large pot and cook the onion and carrots over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in the stock and milk, then bring to a simmer, stirring until it thickens slightly.
Add the broccoli and simmer 10-15 minutes until tender.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar a handful at a time until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Take it off the heat before adding cheese so it melts smoothly instead of clumping.
