Steps

1

Saute onion and leeks in butter in a large pan over a moderate heat until soft.
2

Add enough milk to flour to make a smooth paste. Add to pan along with salt and pepper. Cook until starting to bubble.
3

Add rest of milk and chicken stock.
4

Reduce heat and add carrots, cook for about 5 mins. Keep an eye on the pan so it doesn't boil over.
5

Add broccoli and cook until starting to thicken. Stir often.
6

Add cheese a little at a time and keep tasting until you get the desired taste. You can use any cheese but strong cheese will need a small amount, weaker cheese will need more. But it's all about taste.
7

Serve with crusty bread. Enjoy.
