Broccoli Cheese Soup VI

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup water

1 cup half-and-half

½ teaspoon dried onion flakes

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

4 cups broccoli florets

In a large pot over medium high heat, combine the broth, water, half-and-half, cheese, flour, onion flakes and ground black pepper. Whisk all together to break up any lumps.
