1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, stirring to create a roux.
2. Gradually whisk in milk until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
3. Add broccoli and water to the pot. Cook until broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches using a regular blender.
5. Stir in shredded cheddar until it's melted and incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
