Healthy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

My kids loved this soup and so did I! (I had a picture of this amazing soup, but it's not posting-I apologize)

Ingredients:
2 bunches broccoli, stems removed from florets and diced (tough parts peeled off)
1 small onion, finely diced
 6 medium red potatoes, diced
1/3 cup flour
5 cups vegetable broth
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups milk

Directions:
1. Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a large pot. Saute the broccoli stem pieces, potatoes, and onions until softened (about 7-10 minutes). Add the flour and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heta to maintain a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it's thickened and the vegetables are tender, 12-15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli florets about 5-7 minutes. Add the broccoli to the pot with the nutmeg. Stir to combine, reduce heat to low and add the cheese, Worcestershire and milk. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!

I got the general idea for the recipe from foodnetwork.com but I have changed several things significantly.
