Crockpot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Creamy, comforting crockpot broccoli cheddar soup made with tender vegetables, rich cheese, and a perfectly thickened base that cooks low and slow. Everything comes together easily, with the cream and cheese added at the end for a smooth, cozy finish.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli diced small
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup onion diced
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- ½ cup celery diced small
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ¼ cup corn starch
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Add the diced broccoli, butter, onion, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper directly to the crockpot.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk the chicken broth and cornstarch together until completely smooth. Pour this mixture into the crockpot and stir everything gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, until the vegetables are very tender and the soup has lightly thickened.
- Once cooking time is up, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cover again and cook on HIGH for about 30 minutes, just until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
- Stir well before serving.
