Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • ¼ cup melted butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose 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

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 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.

  4. Gradually add milk while whisking constantly; stir in chicken stock and bring to a simmer.

  5. Cook until mixture is thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  6. Add broccoli, carrots, celery, and sautéed onion; simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

  7. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted; season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
