While the pan is heating up over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Toss in some onions, carrots, and broccoli. The length of time required for the vegetables to soften in the pan varies depending on their size, so it might take more or less time.
Gradually whisk in the milk, cream, and broth. Dredge in flour before adding salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. The mixture will thicken as it cooks over medium heat, stirring regularly. Wait a few minutes, no more than 10.
Once it has thickened somewhat, stir in the cheese until it melts and becomes smooth. Savor every bite of that soup!
