Directions

COMBINE arrowroot and water in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
MELT butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add scallions and sauté until soft. Add milk and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add broccoli and carrots. Return to a simmer and cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until carrots are tender. Gradually stir shredded cheese into soup in batches. Stir until smooth.
BLEND soup using an immersion blender until desired degree of smoothness is reached. If using a countertop blender, carefully blend the soup in small batches, allowing for the sudden expansion of hot liquids while blending. Whisk in arrowroot mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
