Method
 

  1. Add onions and carrots to pot and cook until soft approximately 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook another minute or so.
  2. Add ground beef, break up and simmer until cooked thru. Drain fat, then add salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in mustard, diced tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes. Lower heat then add cheese, half-and-half and flour. Cook until the cheese has melted and soup has thickened about 15 minutes.
