Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup-2
I have looked long and far for a delicious and worthy broccoli cheddar soup slow cooker style. This recipe is it! This Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup does not sacrifice on flavor, consistency or creaminess. As a matter of fact it surpassed my expectations and has been making regular appearances  in our kitchen.


Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup

The only extra preparation that this recipe needed was making the white sauce at the beginning of the recipe. Other than that, this soup comes together in the slow cooker.

You can create the white sauce in a sauce pan on the stove. My husband surprised my with the Cusinart Cook Central 4-in-1 Multi-Cooker last Christmas. I love this multi-cooker. It is slow cooker as well as it can roast, brown/saute and steam foods. In this recipe, I made the white sauce in the multi-cooker on the brown/saute setting. Once the white sauce was ready, I poured in the other ingredients and turned on the slow cooker setting. No extra sauce pan to clean!

Whether you use a multi-cooker or saucepan and slow cooker, this soup is worth the small amount of time to make the white sauce.

My husband and I ate this soup for dinner and for leftovers the next day. If you love broccoli cheddar soup, try out this Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup! Just remember, the higher fat content milk you use, the creamier the soup! Just saying! 🙂
