Make the base of the soup: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they soften and become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and cook, stirring constantly, until melted, about 1 minute. Add the flour and continue stirring until it bubbles and turns pale golden brown, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in the water and cream until smooth, followed by the stock base.

Add the vegetables, cheese, and seasoning: Stir in the broccoli and carrots, and bring the soup to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn the heat off and gradually stir in the cheddar cheese and processed cheese until fully melted, about 1 minute. Add the mustard, hot sauce, paprika, pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
