"This is a copycat recipe, I had this one saved in my copycat recipe collections. I've made it and it's really good, I'm not sure why bread is included in the recipe name there is no bread in this recipe"

Step 1
Saute onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half (this is called making a roux). Add the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree. Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve.
