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.
