Crockpot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Total Time:8 hours

Ingredients

  • 5 cups fresh broccoli florets about 2 heads
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 large carrots peeled and shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 900 ml chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons water if using cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Add broccoli, onion, carrots, garlic, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to your slow cooker. Give it a quick stir.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, until the veggies are soft.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup right in the pot, or carefully transfer half to a blender and blend until smooth (leave some chunks for texture if you like!).
  • Stir in the heavy cream and butter. If you want a thicker soup, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir into the soup.
  • Add the cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.
  • Ladle into bowls, top with extra cheese or a sprinkle of black pepper, and enjoy!
