Author's Notes

You can make this recipe gluten-free using an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend. Pre-shredded cheese is a huge time saver.

step 1
In a 6-quart pot or Dutch oven, melt the Butter (2 Tbsp) over medium-high heat. Add the Onion (1), Carrot (1), Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
step 2
Add the Paprika (1/2 tsp), Mustard Seeds (1/2 tsp), and All-Purpose Flour (2 Tbsp) and stir to combine with the onions and carrots. Add the Potatoes (2 cups) and Chicken Stock (3 cups). Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
step 3
Stir in the Frozen Broccoli (3 cups) (it can still be frozen!) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Half and Half (1 cup) and Shredded Cheddar Cheese (2 cups) until everything is melted and has thickened.
step 5
Garnish with some more cheese and serve warm.
