Broccoli Cheese Soup (Peynirli Brokoli Corbasi)

2 cups chicken stock
2 cups milk
½ cup flour
1 head broccoli (5-6 cups), chopped
3-4 tbsp butter
¼ tsp black pepper
2/3 tbsp salt to taste
300 gr processed cheese/mozzarella, shredded
2 cups cheddar cheese, in cubes or shredded

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, and mix in the flour. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Mix in the chicken stock and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 10 minutes.
In another pot broil broccoli florets in lightly salted water. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
Gradually mix the processed cheese/mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the large pot until melted. Mix in the broccoli. Continue cooking about 5 minutes.
