In a large pot, heat 1/2 cup of the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the remaining vegetable broth, broccoli florets, and shredded carrot to the pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Using an immersion blender or working in batches with a regular blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth (leave some broccoli pieces intact for texture, if desired).
Return the soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the milk and shredded cheese, mixing until the cheese has fully melted and the soup is creamy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the soup, stirring constantly, to thicken the soup. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Pair with a whole-grain roll or side salad for a complete meal.
