INSTRUCTIONS
Saute onion in olive oil over medium-high heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and saute for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, broccoli, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and let simmer until veggies are tender, about 10-15 minutes depending on how soft you like them. Add in cooked chicken, if desired.
While veggies are simmering, in a medium-sized saucepan, make a roux by melting the butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. While stirring, gradually add milk. Allow it to come to a boil and thicken. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir the cheesy roux into your simmering veggies. Season to taste and serve immediately.
