Slowly pour in chicken broth and mix well until incorporated.
Pour in milk and half and half, add nutmeg, broccoli and salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes until broccoli is tender.
Either smash broccoli with a potato masher, or puree soup in a blender until desired consistency is reached.

If soup thickens too much you can thin with some chicken broth or water.
