Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I was at the store the other day and I walked by the fresh soups and all I have been craving since then is this soup.  It's so comforting and the most delicious thing ever.  This recipe is great and I will be making it many more times to come.

Ingredients:

• 2 large broccoli florets, chopped
• 3 cups cheddar cheese
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 stick butter
• 1/3 cup flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 teaspoon  paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:  Melt butter in a pot over medium heat, then add onions and carrots. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then sprinkle, flour, paprika, and cayenne pepper, over the top. Stir to combine and cook for about a minute, then pour in broth, milk, and heavy cream. Add cinnamon, then broccoli, and salt and pepper to taste.  I use lots of pepper!  Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Stir in cheese and allow to melt.  Use a potato masher and mash the broccoli and carrots to your desire.  You can also run it through the blender.
