Preparation
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.
Remove from heat, add Canadian Mild Cheddar cheese and stir until it is melted. Sprinkle each portion with more paprika and serve.
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.
