Directions

In a medium-sized cooking pot, add water and broccoli florets and bring to boil, reduce heat and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving all of the water.
In a food processor or blender, process half the cooked broccoli until fairly smooth. Chop remaining broccoli and set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed cooking pot, melt butter or margarine, add onion and celery and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until soft. Stir in flour, cook, stirring constantly for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add reserved water and chicken bouillon granules, and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium, simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
Stir in milk, nutmeg, pepper, and processed and chopped broccoli, and heat through. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve garnished with grated cheddar cheese.
