Instructions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, and onion; sauté for about 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and add cubed potatoes along with thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Add broccoli florets and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.
In a separate saucepan, melt remaining butter; whisk in flour to create a roux for one minute while stirring constantly.
Gradually add milk while whisking until smooth; cook until thickened.
Remove both pots from heat and combine the thickened mixture into the main soup pot along with heavy cream.
Mix in shredded cheddar cheese until melted completely.
Serve warm.
