Instructions
- Add the broccoli, onion, carrots, celery, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to your slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and whisk the flour into the butter.
- Whisk the butter/flour roux into the slow cooker, stirring to eliminate any lumps.
- Stir in the milk and cheese.
- Let cook another hour on low or until the cheese is melted and the soup thickens.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
- Pre-shredded cheese often has additives that prevent it from melting smoothly. So either shred a block of cheddar or buy a high quality shredded cheese without additives.
- Garnish with green onions and extra cheese.
- Serve this in a bread bowl for a fantastic presentation.
- For thicker soup, replace half the milk with heavy cream. Or use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup before you add the butter and flour mixture.
