Add the sweet potatoes, carrots, and chicken broth to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over med/high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Add your mushrooms. 

In a small bowl, mix flour and half n' half until smooth. Gradually pour into the soup, stirring as you go. Return to a boil, cook and stir occassionally until the mushrooms are tender. Reduce heat to medium, stir in cheese until melted.
