🥦 Creamy Crockpot Broccoli Cheese Soup – A Comforting Classic! 🧀
This creamy, cheesy broccoli soup is the ultimate slow-cooker meal for a chilly day. Packed with fresh vegetables, rich cheddar, and hearty broth, it’s easy to make and absolutely delicious. Save this recipe for your next cozy night in!

Ingredients (Serves 8):

• 4 cups broccoli florets, diced small (about 1 large head)
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 1/2 cup celery, diced small
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (16 oz)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Dice broccoli, onion, and celery to your preferred size—smaller dice for smoother soup, larger dice for a chunkier texture.
2. In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine broccoli, onion, celery, garlic, butter, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Stir to combine.
3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is velvety and creamy.
6. Adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra shredded cheese, bacon bits, or croutons for an added touch.

Tips:

• For a thicker consistency, dissolve 2 more tablespoons of cornstarch in water and add it at the end.
• Swap out cheddar for Gouda, Gruyère, or Monterey Jack for a unique flavor twist.
• Pair with crusty bread, crackers, or serve over a baked potato for a satisfying meal.
