This creamy broccoli cheddar soup is loaded with tender broccoli,
carrots, and sharp cheddar cheese. Made in one pot in about
40 minutes, it's rich, cozy, and perfect with crusty bread.

Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the
onion, salt, and pepper, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until soft.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until
light golden.

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, then whisk in the broth
and cream until smooth.

Add the broccoli, carrot, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and nutmeg.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the broccoli is tender. Do not let it boil.

For a thicker soup, pulse a few times with an immersion blender, or
blend 1 to 2 cups in a blender and stir it back in.

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cheese a handful at a time,
letting each addition melt before adding more. Taste and adjust the
salt & pepper.

Ladle into bowls and top with extra cheddar. Serve warm with crusty
bread.
