Instructions
Sauté chopped onion in 1 T melted butter, set aside.
In a large pot whisk together the melted butter and flour over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
Slowly whisk in half and half and chicken stock. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Add broccoli, carrots, and onions. Let them simmer on medium low for about 25 minutes - until the broccoli and carrots are tender.
Add salt, pepper and cheese. Let the cheese melt and then serve.
For a smoother texture you can puree it in a blender, but personally I think it's better chunky!
