Wash the broccoli then cut it up to pieces or small florets.
Heat water up add salt, black pepper and any other optional seasoning. Place the broccoli into the seasoned boiling water or above it into the steamer.
Cook until tender for about 3 - 4 minutes. It doesn't need to be too soft just enough to be easily cut or broken.
When it's done take the broccoli out from the water or steamer but don't discard the water. Puree the broccoli with a hand blander or mixer. Add about a half cup seasoned cooking or steaming water to the broccoli and mix it.
Add the grated cheese then blend into the broccoli.
The cheese will thicken the soup a bit up therefore if we are after a thinner consistency add more water and blend it well. Serve it with a bit of cheese on top.
