Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

This dish was so delish and warmed us right up. It is one of the recipes I pinned on Pinterest. It was really easy to make. It reminded me of broccoli cheddar soup at Panera. I served this dish with some biscuits.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter
1 c chopped carrot
1 c chopped celery
1 tbsp minced garlic
4 c chicken broth
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp flour
1/2 c water
2/3 c milk
2 c chopped broccoli
2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Melt butter in large soup pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender.
2. Add garlic and cook 1-2 additional minutes.
3. Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender.
4. Mix flour with water. Add to soup and simmer until slightly thickened.
5. Add milk an broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through.
6. Stir in cheese. Allow to melt. Serve.
