Broccoli Cheddar Soup {ONE Pot!} | Chelsea's Messy Apron

"Creamy & delicious broccoli cheddar soup made in ONE POT on the stovetop. This soup is easy to make and full of flavor (the "secret" is in the spices!)...."

INGREDIENTS
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, (separated)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, (diced (1 cup))
2 small cloves garlic, (minced)
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Fine sea salt and pepper
6 tablespoons white flour
1 container (32 ounces (about 4 cups)) low-sodium chicken stock (or broth) ((use vegetable stock for a vegetarian version))
3 cups fat free half and half
1 bay leaf
6 cups chopped broccoli crowns ((~4 large crowns))
2 cups matchstick/shredded carrots
12 ounces high quality extra sharp cheddar cheese ((don't use pre-shredded -- it doesn't melt well in this soup))
Optional: crusty bread OR bread bowls (we love serving this soup in sourdough bread bowls!)
