Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ onion diced

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cups broccoli chopped
  • 2 carrots shredded
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  • Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
