Meanwhile, melt butter in large saucepan set over medium heat, add mirepoix and cook for 5 to 8 min. or until softened and lightly browned. Sprinkle flour over top and cook for 1 min; add tomato paste and paprika and cook 1 more min. Gradually whisk in strained broth, then stir in milk and bring to a simmer; cook for 12 to 15 min. or until thickened and vegetables are tender.
