This Crockpot Broccoli Cheese Soup is a comforting and creamy dish that combines tender broccoli florets with a rich cheddar cheese blend. Slow-cooked to perfection, this soup is ideal for cozy meals and is easy to prepare with minimal effort using a Crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 onion, diced

Liquids & Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the onion and cut the broccoli into florets, ensuring they are bite-sized for even cooking.
  2. Combine in Crockpot: Place the broccoli, diced onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder into the Crockpot. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  3. Slow Cook: Set the Crockpot to low heat and cook for 4-6 hours, allowing the broccoli to become tender and the flavors to meld.
  4. Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup to achieve a creamy texture while retaining some chunks of broccoli for added bite.
  5. Add Dairy and Cook: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, then increase the Crockpot heat to high and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cheese has melted smoothly into the soup.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, add freshly cracked black pepper on top, and serve hot for a cozy and delicious meal.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Use low-fat or half-and-half cream to reduce calories without sacrificing creaminess.
  • If you prefer a smoother soup, blend the mixture completely before adding the cheese and cream.
  • Cheddar cheese can be swapped with a sharp white cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid curdling the cream and cheese.
