1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
2 1/2 cups 1% milk

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.

Add reserved water and chicken bouillon granules, and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
