Broccoli Cheese Soup

I made a giant pan of this 2 days ago for dinner. Needless to say this recipe will feed an army and can be reduced. I started by peeling 8-10 potatoes and cutting them into bite sized pieces, then a small bag of carrots chopped up. boil for 15 minutes. i added 3 tablespoons of dried onions. While that's boiling i chopped up 2 heads of broccoli and started steaming them in a separate pan. I drained off the water from the veggies until it just covered them and added a gallon of milk. Thickened with about a cup of flour(with water) added lots of salt, pepper and some more onion powder and some celery salt. add the broccoli and cheese (about 4 cups). it took me about an hour to make it all together. I never use a real recipe when i make soup - i just throw it together you could put other veggies in it too. it's important not to cook it on too high of heat, the milk separates and looks weird. it made a good lunch for the last 2 days.
