Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the chopped carrots, celery, onion, and broccoli florets in 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, then spread them out on a baking sheet.
2
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and caramelized.
3
While vegetables are roasting, melt remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat.
4
Add the minced garlic to the pot, followed by the flour. Stir constantly until smooth.
5
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper.
6
Add the peeled and cubed potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
7
Add the roasted vegetables to the pot. Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through.
8
Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar and parmesan cheeses until they are completely melted and the soup is creamy and thick.
9
Serve the chowder warm, garnishing with additional cheese if desired.
