1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 cups chicken stock
1⁄2 lb. fresh broccoli (about 3 cups), chopped into bite size pieces

Directions:
Saute onion in 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside. Cook the 1/4 cup melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir constantly and add the half & half. Add the chicken stock and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the broccoli, carrots and reserved onions. Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. You can leave the soup chunky or blend about 1 cup of the soup and stir it in for a smoother soup. Return to low heat and add the cheese. If your heat is too high your soup can get grainy. Stir in the nutmeg. Serve with crusty bread.
