How to make broccoli cheese soup:

Saute onions, celery and bell pepper in butter until soft. Add chicken stock, basil, garlic and bay leaves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and add the cheese a little at a time, whisking after each addition. When all cheese has melted, add broccoli. Add the wine and check the flavor.

In a small bowl make a paste of flour and water. Add paste to soup and cook 5 minutes over low heat. Add heavy cream and paprika. Stir well.
