1 cup butter, melted
1 cup flour
8 cups half-and-half
8 cups chicken broth
2 lbs broccoli, chopped
4 cups carrots, shredded
8 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Melt butter in the bottom of the pot.
2
Add flour and whisk over medium quickly until fully combined (about 3-5 minutes).
3
Slowly (very slowly) add in the half and half, whisking constantly.
4
This is an important step.
5
This is what sets the consistency for the soup.
6
If it doesn't combine together right, your soup won't be as thick.
7
It'll still be yummy, but also a little runny.
8
Once all the half and half is in, add the chicken broth.
9
Simmer for about 20 minutes.
10
Add the broccoli and carrots and cook on low for 20-25 minutes.
11
Add the cheese, salt and pepper and stir until cheese is melted.
12
Serve right away with your favorite chunk of bread or allow to cool and store in large freezer bags until later use.
13
When ready to unfreeze and serve cook in crock pot on low for 3-4 hours before serving.
14
This allows some water to evaporate and helps the soup thicken up again.

Enjoy!
