Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese Soup

I am always looking for a good broccoli cheese soup recipe. This is one of my favorites. Partially because it involves using the crock pot, but I promise it tastes good too. ;-) Here's the recipe:

PREP TIME:

5 Minutes

DIFFICULTY:

Easy

COOK TIME:

4 Hours

SERVINGS:

12 Servings

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound Frozen Broccoli Florets
• 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
• 2 whole Carrots, Finely Diced
• 5 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
• 2 cans Cream Of Celery Soup
• 1/4 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt, More To Taste
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1-1/2 pound Velveeta
• 2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the broccoli, onion, carrots, chicken broth, cream of celery soup, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker. Stir, place on the lids, and set the slow cooker on high for 4 hours.

After 4 hours use an immersion blender or masher to puree 3/4 of the soup. (If you use a regular blender, blend only 1 cup at a time and use extreme caution.) Add the cheese, turn the slow cooker to low, and place on the lid for 15 minutes.

Stir to melt the cheese and mix it in. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper as needed.

Serve warm! Soup keeps great in the fridge for a couple of days.

This is not the healthiest version of this soup, but it IS my husband's favorite, and I agree that it's really good. And easy! I will definitely use it again.
