Make this easy Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese Soup for a comforting and easy meal, velvety smooth and full of crockpot broccoli cheese soup. Soup is great to make in the slow cooker.
We also like to make Chicken Noodle Soup, Zuppa Toscana, and Cheeseburger Soup. Shred these with a cheese grater or dice. This helps thicken the soup too. In a large bowl whisk together the cornstarch and chicken broth. WAIT TO ADD THE VELVEETA CHEESE AND HEAVY CREAM UNTIL THE END OF THE COOKING TIME.
Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6. Place the lid back on the slow cooker and cook for 20 more minutes on high to melt the cheese. The soup won’t be as thick but still have great flavor. You can sub cream cheese for the heavy cream to help thicken if desired. Can I use shredded cheese instead of Velveeta? Sharp cheese will give the most flavor, other milder cheeses won’t flavor the soup correctly.
Use 3 cups freshly grated cheese, pre-shredded will not melt as well. Stir only one cup at a time. May be the easiest soup ever to make! Ultra cheesy and creamy broccoli cheese soup made in the crockpot. Add the carrots, onion, garlic powder and pepper. In a large bowl whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch. The chicken broth must be at room temperature or cold for this not to clump.
Pour over the vegetables in the slow cooker. Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours. Replace the lid and cook for 20 more minutes on HIGH. Recipe Notes:Can I omit the cornstarch to make this lower in carbs?
