Instructions:
Step 1:
Add four tablespoons of melted butter and half a cup of finely diced onion in a large pot. Let it cook for four to five minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Step 2:
Add four cups of chicken stock, followed by the carrots. Bring it to a boil. Once boiling, bring it down to a simmer for about five minutes.
Step 3:
Add the seasoned salt, paprika, and fresh black pepper. Mix and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about five minutes.
Step 4:
Add the broccoli and celery seeds to the pot. Place the lid and cook until the potatoes and broccoli soften for about fifteen minutes over low heat.
Step 5:
In a different pot, add three cups of whole-fat milk and six tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk until well combined. Next, add one can of crema or table cream. Stir well with a whisk. Place over heat and cook until it thickens. Once it’s boiling, it will continue to thicken. Let it bubble for a few minutes and it’s done. Make sure to keep on stirring for the whole process so it will not burn. Next, add the cheese and continue stirring until melted.

Pour the cheese into the soup and mix well.
