Broccoli/Cauliflower soup...yummy for those cold winter Arizona evenings

I promised Cara that I would put this recipe up of a yummy Broccoli soup I recently made.  The original recipe came from Kris Bumstead Williams but I have changed a few things with it and will call it my own.  Here are the ingredients for...

Broccoli/Cauliflower/Cheese Soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup of butter
1/4 cup of flour
3 cups of water
1- 16oz. frozen chopped broccoli (thawed beforehand)
4 chicken bouillon cubes or 2 tsp. chicken base
1 tsp. worchestershire sauce
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 cup half and half
3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
1 cup of fresh cut up cauliflower

Instructions:
cook onion & butter until tender, stir in flour, then gradually stir in water, then broccoli,cauliflower, bouillon & worcestershire over medium heat.  Cook & stir until thickened and vegetables are tender (don't over cook) cook for about ten minutes.  Add cheese and the whipping cream/ half & half.  Cook & stir until cheese melts.  You will love it!!!
