Broccoli Cheese Soup

In my quest to find meals that do not include processed foods, I came across this soup that is amazing!
INGREDIENTS
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup half-and-half
6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups broccoli florets

DIRECTIONS
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.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Stir in the broccoli and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender
