Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Immersion Blender

Ingredients

Potato Broccoli Cheddar Soup Base

  • 4 cups diced potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Cheese Base

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Add the diced potatoes, broccoli florets, onion, garlic, shredded carrots, chicken broth, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to your crock pot.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Whisk together the milk (or heavy cream) and cornstarch (or flour) until smooth. Stir into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated into the soup.
  • For a smoother texture, blend part of the soup with an immersion blender directly in the crock pot or blend half the soup in a blender and return it.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra cheddar cheese, green onions, crumbled bacon, or parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently on low heat. Variations: Add cauliflower, mushrooms, or spice it up with cayenne pepper.
