1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Combine oil, carrots and the next 4 ingredients in a heavy soup pot and saute until tender, about 10 minutes.

2. Add broth, potatoes and salt; stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat, simmering until potato is tender, about 25 minutes.

3. Measure milk into a separate bowl and slowly whisk in flour. Pour mixture into soup and stir frequently over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheese to melt.
