Crockpot Broccoli Cheese Soup
Description
The soup begins by placing broccoli florets with butter, onion, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper into a slow cooker. Chicken broth combined with cornstarch is added to aid thickening as it cooks on low heat for 4 to 6 hours. After slow cooking, heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese are stirred in and the soup is cooked on high for an additional 30 minutes to melt the cheese fully.
Once ready, the soup has a creamy consistency with small, tender broccoli pieces providing texture. The cheese adds a sharp, rich flavor that complements the mild vegetables. The method requires no stovetop steps beyond initial preparation, making it convenient to set and forget.
This broccoli cheese soup works well as a warming main course or starter. It pairs nicely with crusty bread or a simple salad for a balanced meal. The included notes advise storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, maintaining the soup's flavor and texture for later enjoyment.
