1 cup diced carrots
6 stalks broccoli, chopped (2 large heads, or 10 cups)
1 small finely chopped onion

1/4 cup butter
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk
16 oz sharp cheddar cheese

Here is how you make Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Soup:

Lightly steam the broccoli and carrots. Melt the butter and cook the onion and pepper until tender (I use medium high heat). Stir in the flour and mix until combined and smooth. Add in the broth and stir. Let simmer for a couple minutes. Stir in 1 cup of milk. Add the broccoli and carrots. Use a hand blender to puree the soup until consistency desired. Use a whisk to combine and melt the cheese a handful at a time. Make sure the cheese is melted and well combined before adding more.
