Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups broccoli florets (from 2 heads)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Roughly chop the broccoli florets and place them in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the chopped onion, shredded carrots, cream cheese, and minced garlic.
- In a large bowl, whisk the chicken broth with nutmeg, salt, pepper, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture over the vegetables in the crockpot and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for 6-7 hours, until the broccoli is tender. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup, leaving some chunks if preferred.
- Reduce the heat to LOW, then add the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can blend the soup to a smooth texture or leave some chunks for added texture.
- Add some crumbled bacon or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
