CrockPot Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Ingredients

4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2 Medium Yellow Onions (Peeled And Diced)
4 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
32 Ounces Frozen Broccoli Florets
29 Ounces Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (Store Bought Or Homemade Chicken Broth)
2 Cups Half & Half
32 Ounces American Cheese (Such As Velveeta Brand, Cubed)

Directions

Add butter and onions to a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.

Cover and cook on HIGH until the butter is melted, about 20 minutes.

Add flour to the slow cooker and stir until all the flour has absorbed the melted butter.

Add half & half one cup at a time, whisking after each cup is added.

Add chicken broth and broccoli and stir to combine.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours.

Remove lid and add American cheese cubes, stir.

Recover slow cooker and continue cooking for 1 hour on HIGH to allow the cheese to melt.

If you would like your soup smoother, you can use an immersion blender to blend the soup right in the slow cooker.
