Ingredients:  
¼ cup melted butter
½ medium chopped onion
¼ cup flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
2 cups chicken stock or broth
1/2 lb broccoli, (about 3 cups), chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup carrot, , julienned (can buy matchstick carrots in produce section)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg, (optional but brings out the flavor)
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese, (2 cups)

Directions:
Melt the ¼ cup butter and sautee the onions in it until soft. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the half & half and chicken stock.
Add the broccoli and carrots. Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes or until the broccoli and carrots are tender.
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 (that's what I do). Return to low heat and add the cheese. If your heat is too high your soup can get grainy. Stir in the nutmeg if desired.
Serve with crusty bread.
