Step 1

Heat oil in large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrots, salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard; cook, stirring once or twice, until carrots begin to soften, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add potatoes, broth, and half-and-half; increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes; add cheese and stir until melted. Puree soup in pot using an immersion blender (or puree in batches using a regular blender). Reheat soup and ladle into bowls.
