| 1. In a medium saucepan, bring broth, broccoli (about 1 med. head will yield 3 cups chopped broccoli) and celery to a boil over high heat. | 2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes. | 3. Stir occasionally. | 4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir in flour, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute. | 5. With a whisk or wooden spoon, add milk gradually, beating constantly to prevent lumping. | 6. (It will thicken like paste at first; keep beating in milk to thin it.) Bring to a boil. | 7. If you want a smooth soup, puree broccoli in blender. | 8. Now add broccoli mixture (smooth or chunky) into large saucepan with the milk. | 9. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. | 10.
