Cheese, Broccoli, Potato, Chicken Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter
    1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 large potato, cubed
    3 -4 green onions, chopped
    8 cups water
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    3 chicken bouillon cubes
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 lb skinless chicken breast half, cut into bite-sized pieces
    1 cup light cream
    3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    1 cup sour cream
Preparation
    In large pot or Dutch Oven, melt butter over med. heat. Mix in flour, stirring constantly until a thick paste forms. Remove from pot, and set aside.
    In same pot, combine water, bouillon cubes, chicken, broccoli, potato, green onions, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 45 minutes.
    Stir in flour mixture a little bit at a time until soup thickens. Simmer 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in cream and sour cream. Mix in cheese, one cup at a time and stir until melted.
    2 heads fresh broccoli, cut into florets can be used instead of the frozen broccoli.
    Note: You can easily omit the chicken - it won't be missed. But add another potato in its place.
