Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups broccoli, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

Dairy

  • 4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream (thick cream)

Liquids

  • 4 cups chicken broth

Dry Ingredients & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Chop the broccoli, celery, and onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Add them to the slow cooker along with the butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for seasoning.
  2. Prepare the Broth Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch into the chicken broth until smooth to prevent lumps. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker with the vegetables.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours. During this time, the veggies will become tender and the flavors will meld together.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese: After the slow cook, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Increase the heat to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the soup to thicken.
  5. Finish and Serve: Give the soup one final stir to combine everything evenly. Serve it hot and steamy for a comforting meal experience.

Notes

  • Make this recipe vegetarian by substituting chicken broth with vegetable stock.
  • For added texture, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese or breadcrumbs on top before serving.
  • Use fresh broccoli for best flavor and texture, but frozen can be substituted in a pinch.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before the final cooking stage, especially salt and pepper.
  • Use a slow cooker liner for easier cleanup.
