Ingredients
3 cups broccoli florets, chopped
1 cup carrots, shredded
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)

Directions
Sauté the Veggies:
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3 minutes).
Make the Base:
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until combined, cooking for 1–2 minutes. Slowly add broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
Cook the Broccoli and Carrots:
Stir in the broccoli and carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Add the Milk and Cheese:
Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Add paprika (if using) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for dipping. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
