- In a large pot on low-medium heat, add butter and allow to melt. Add the scallions and saute for 2-3 minutes until softened. Sprinkle in the flour and mix together with a whisk for 1-2 minutes. While stirring, slowly pour in the stock and half & half. Add the spices, salt, pepper, and continue to stir. Increase temperature to medium heat. Dump in the veggies and allow them to cook for 10 minutes. Use a large wooden spoon to stir the mixture occasionally to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Once the veggies have softened, add the cheese and stir until melted.
