Shopping List:
1/2 stick Butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 onion diced
3-4 cups chopped broccoli
2 cups of Half/Half (you can use heavy cream or whole milk also)
2 cups low sodium Chicken Stock
1-2 tsps Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base
1 cup Shredded Carrots
8-12 oz shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shred your own cheese)
salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes

Using a Box Cheese Grater, shred your carrots. Place your cheese in the freezer for 10 minutes before shredding to make it easier. Dice your onion and broccoli and set aside.

In a large pot, begin by melting your butter and then adding in the red pepper flakes and onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until onion gets tender. Add Veggie base and mix to combine. Next, add flour and mix to combine - cook for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken stick and cream - bring to a boil and add broccoli and carrots. Reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid for 15-20 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Optionally you can blend the soup with a hand blender to blend the veggies into the soup. Season to taste and then reduce/turn off heat and slowly mix in your shredded cheese. Once cheese has melted, taste and adjust as needed and serve.
