    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon butter
    ½ onion, chopped
    ¼ cup melted butter
    ¼ cup flour
    2 cups milk
    2 cups chicken stock
    1 ½ cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets
    1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
    1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
    2 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
    salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Recipe



    Step 1
    Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

    Step 2
    Whisk 1/4 cup melted butter and flour together in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue to whisk and cook , adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk if necessary to keep the flour from burning, 3 to 4 minutes.

    Step 3
    Gradually pour milk into flour mixture while whisking constantly. Stir chicken stock into milk mixture. Bring to a simmer; cook until mixture is thickened, about 20 minutes. Add broccoli, carrots, sauteed onion, and celery; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

    Step 4
    Stir Cheddar cheese into vegetable mixture until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Cook's Note:
    I use 2% milk but you can use any, including half and half.
