Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup

This is an amazing soup for a nice hearty bread bowl.
But it is also wonderful on it's own.

1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 T butter
1/4 cup flour
4 cups diced peeled potatoes
2 1/2 cups chopped broccoli, steamed until crisp tender
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups (about 6oz) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups skim or 1% milk
1/4 tsp pepper
1 dash paprika

Directions:
In a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter over medium heat until tender.
Add Pepper, salt, paprika and flour slowly until smooth.
Add broth, milk and potatoes, stirring constantly until it boils and thickens.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in cheese and cooked broccoli.
Ladle 1/3 of the soup into a blender or food processor and puree (This thickens the soup)
Return the pureed soup to the remaining soup in the pan and cook over low until ready to serve.
