Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat till veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now.
Pour in batches into osterizer (blender) and puree.
Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg.
