Ingredients

Vegetables

4 cups broccoli, diced small Fresh broccoli is best for flavor and nutrition!
1/2 cup onion, diced Adds a wonderful base flavor.
1/2 cup celery, diced small The celery adds a nice crunch and subtle flavor.
2 teaspoons minced garlic Fresh garlic gives it that extra flavor boost.

Liquids

4 cups chicken broth A good quality broth makes all the difference.
1 cup heavy whipping cream For that rich and creamy texture.

Fats & Thickeners

2 tablespoons butter Unsalted butter gives you control over the seasoning.
1/4 cup corn starch Helps to thicken the soup beautifully.

Seasonings

1 teaspoon salt Adjust to your taste!
1 teaspoon pepper Freshly ground adds depth to the soup.

Cheese

4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded Use sharp cheddar for an intense cheesy flavor!

Method

Preparation

Cut the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces.
In your crock pot, toss in the diced broccoli, butter, onion, celery, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Mixing

In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth with the cornstarch, stirring until blended. Then pour this mixture into the crock pot over the veggies.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
After the cooking time, gently stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes.

Serving

Right before serving, give everything a good stir to blend those cheesy flavors beautifully.
Enjoy it as is or pair it with crusty bread!

Notes

Time-saving trick: Chop your veggies the night before. If your soup ends up too thick, whisk in more chicken broth when reheating. Add a pinch of smoked paprika or nutmeg for an unexpected twist.
