"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Add 1 Tblsp butter to soup and heat over medium heat. Add chopped onion and saute until onions are soft and translucent. Add 1/4 cup butter to pot still over medium heat. When melted, add flour and whisk together, whisking often.
Slowly pour in about a cup of chicken broth, whisking as you pour. Continue with the remaining chicken broth and half and half, pouring slowly and whisking as your pour.
Let broth/half and half mixture cook for a minute or two, whisking often, making sure no flour lumps remain.
Add broccoli and carrots and stir to combine. Add paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper, stir. Reduce heat to LOW/MED LOW and simmer until thickened and broccoli/carrots are fork tender, maybe 15 minutes. Adjust thickness as you like.
Add grated cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring to melt the cheese into the soup after each handful. Taste soup, adjust with spices as desired.
