Broccoli Cheese Soup In A Crock Pot

Ingredients

2 cups broccoli diced medium
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
¼ cup onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
¼ cup celery finely chopped
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

Combine the diced broccoli, olive oil, onion, celery, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in your crockpot.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until well combined. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low setting for 4-5 hours or until the broccoli is tender.

After cooking, stir in the cream and the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the soup to thicken.

Stir thoroughly before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy.
