In a large saucepan, cook butter, onion and carrots over medium heat until onion softens (about 3 minutes). Add chicken stock/broth, broccoli and seasonings; simmer until broccoli is softened, about 8 minutes.
Remove 1 c. vegetables; coarsely chop; set aside. Using an immersion blender, blend remaining vegetables and stock/broth.
Place flour in a small bowl; slowly add in cream, a little at a time, stirring until smooth and not lumpy.
Bring blended vegetable mixture to a boil; whisk in cream mixture; continue whisking until thick and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in reserved chopped vegetables, Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Serve immediately.
