Bring water and broccoli florets to a boil in a medium pot, then reduce the heat and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving all of the cooking liquid.

In a food processor or blender, process 1/2 of the cooked broccoli until fairly smooth. Chop remaining broccoli and set aside.

In a heavy-bottomed cooking pot, melt butter or margarine. Add onion and celery and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes. Add reserved cooking liquid and bouillon granules and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Stir in milk, nutmeg, and pepper, then stir in both processed and chopped broccoli. Cook until heated through. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve with grated Cheddar cheese.
