In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic and sauté for 5-8 minutes until softened.
Add the flour and cook a few minutes, mixing until well incorporated.
Gradually whisk in the broth, then stir in the half & half and season. Bring the soup to a simmer while stirring.
Add the broccoli. Cook for about 10-15 minutes on low heat until tender, stirring often to prevent the bottom of your pot from scorching.
Turn off the heat and mix in the cheese until smoothly melted. If needed, add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
