Sopa de brócoli y cheddar estilo Panera

A rich, velvety broccoli cheddar soup with tender bits of broccoli and thin ribbons of carrot in every spoonful, just like the bakery-cafe favorite. A quick butter-and-flour roux plus half-and-half gives it that signature silky body, while a full half pound of sharp cheddar stirred in off the heat keeps the soup smooth instead of grainy. It comes together in one pot in about an hour and begs to be served in a sourdough bread bowl.
