Broccoli Cheese Noodle Soup

While I'm in the business of sharing recipes, this is another one of my favorites! There is no story to go along with this recipe, but it's perfect for chilly nights and leftovers the next day! I usually double this recipe and add cooked chicken. Also, I adjust the broccoli and cheese to whatever I'm feeling that night.

2 oz angel hair pasta, in small pieces
1/4 cup butter
1 Tbls flour
