Preparation

What You Need

2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped onion
1/4 cup (60 ml) finely grated carrot
1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 ml) chicken broth mix
1/2 tsp (2 ml) paprika
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dry mustard

Instructions

In medium saucepan, melt butter. Sauté onion and carrot until tender, about 5 to 10 min. Blend in flour, broth mix, paprika and mustard. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, 5 to 10 min.

Tips

Most soups will benefit from simmering for an hour or so. But you'll generally want to wait until it's time to serve before adding the cheese.
