Creamy Broccoli Soup (Kremali Brokoli Corbasi)

1 bunch of broccoli (250-300gr), washed and chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 potato, diced
1 cup water
3 cups milk
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Shredded mozzarella/cheddar/parmesan for garnish

In a pot, sauté onions with oil over medium heat and then add chopped broccoli and potatoes. Saute them for 3-4 minutes.
Add one cup of water and boil. Simmer for 6-8 minutes over low heat till broccoli and potatoes are tender. Then stir in milk, salt and simmer for additional 10 minutes. After that, puree the soup with a blender until it is smooth (if you prefer to have bulk pieces of broccoli in the soup, do not use blender).
Sprinkle black pepper and shredded mozzarella/cheddar/parmesan on top and serve warm.
