Preparations:
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in broccoli, carrot and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the cream, paprika, mustard powder and shredded chicken.
- For a thicker soup, blend about one-third of the soup and return it to the pot, leaving most of the broccoli chunky.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
