Step 1: Place the 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot on the stove; add the carrots, celery, onion, and parsnips.
Step 2: Simmer, covered, for about 10-12 minutes (you want to make sure they are steamed till quite done, adding a few drops water if necessary).
Step 3: Mix the next 2 tablespoons butter into pot and when melted add the flour to make a rue; gradually stir in the beef broth, stirring till smooth--6-8 minutes.
Step 4: Add the cheddar cheese and stir till melted; slowly add the half and half.
Step 5: Heat but DO NOT boil, stirring constantly about 3 minutes; ladle into bowls and enjoy.
