Broccoli Cheese Soup - Slow Cooker
We use our slow cooker at least once a week normally, so I'm always trying out new slow cooker recipes. This soup is creamy and comforting.
Ingredients
-
2 large carrots, peeled and shredded
-
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 oz. cream cheese
-
1 tsp. dried oregano
-
3/4 tsp. salt
-
1/2 tsp. pepper
-
1/4 tsp. each ground nutmeg, salt free all purpose seasoning
-
3 1/2 cups unsalted chicken or vegetable broth
-
1 cup milk
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
2 tbsp. all purpose flour

2 cups freshly shredded sharp yellow cheddar cheese

1 cup freshly shredded white cheddar cheese

1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Cooking Instructions

1
Grease your slow cooker (6 qt. size). Place the broccoli florets, shredded carrots, onion and garlic into the bottom. Top with the cream cheese, seasonings and broth. Give it all a stir, place the lid on and set the heat to low. Cook for 4-6 hours, until the broccoli is tender.

Once the broccoli is tender, use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup, until it is mostly smooth, but still with some chunks. Whisk together the milk, cream and flour and stir it into the soup, along with the cheeses. Place the lid back on and set the heat to high. Let this cook another 30-45 minutes, or until the soup has thickened slightly, is fully heated through and the cheese has fully melted. Taste and add more seasonings if it needs it, then serve.
