Instructions
- Heat butter in a small pan over medium heat. Cook onion and celery until tender, about 3 minutes.
- Wash and chop the broccoli and place in the slow cooker. Add cooked onion, garlic powder, bay leaf, chicken broth, cream cheese and salt & pepper to taste.
- Cook on low 6 to 7 hours, or high 3 to 4 hours, or until broccoli is tender. Add evaporated milk and cook 30 to 60 minutes more. Discard bay leaf.
- Remove one cup of broccoli and coarsely chop. Puree remaining soup using a hand blender. You can puree a bit to break up the broccoli or until completely smooth depending on preference.
- Add chopped broccoli back into the soup. Stir in all of the cheeses until melted.
- Garnish with additional shredded cheeses, or ½ teaspoon of pesto sauce.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, create a cornstarch slurry by combining 2 tablespoons water with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add a little at a time to reach desired consistency. Allow to cook an additional 10 minutes.
