1 cup matchstick-cut carrots

2.Whisk 1/4 cup melted butter and four together in a large saucepan over
medium-low heat; cook until four loses its granular texture, adding 1 to
2 tablespoons of milk if necessary to keep the four from burning, 3 to 4
minutes.

Stir chicken stock into milk mixture. Bring to a simmer; cook until
flour taste is gone and the mixture is thickened (about 20 minutes). Add
broccoli, carrots, sauteed onion, and celery; simmer until vegetables
are tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Stir Cheddar cheese into vegetable mixture until cheese melts.
