The Pioneer Woman's Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup



INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pound frozen broccoli florets
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, finely diced
  • 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of celery soup
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds processed melting cheese, such as Velveeta
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (8 ounces), plus more for serving
  • Crumbled saltine crackers, for serving


INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Place the broccoli, chicken broth, onions, carrots, cream of celery soup, seasoned salt, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on the HIGH setting for 4 hours. The veggies will be soft and the flavors will be marvelous!
  2. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to purée the soup about three-quarters of the way smooth in order to leave some chunks for delicious texture. (Alternatively, use a regular blender. Just be sure to blend only 1 cup at a time and use extreme caution. Then return it to the slow cooker.)
  3. Add the processed cheese and cheddar and to combine. Cover, turn the heat to the LOW setting, and cook for 15 minutes. Utterly creamy and delicious!
  4. Here's where you want to taste the soup and add more of what you'd like: a little more salt, a little more cayenne, and so on. Serve it warm with a sprinkling of Cheddar and some crumbled saltines.

RECIPE NOTES
Variations
  1. Broccoli-Cauliflower Cheddar Soup: Substitute frozen cauliflower for half the frozen broccoli if desired.
  2. Bacon Broccoli-Cheddar Soup: Add 6 cooked, crumbled slices of bacon with the cheese.
  3. Chile Broccoli-Cheddar Soup: Add 2 drained (4-ounce) cans green chiles with the cheese.
  4. Monterey Jack substitution: Use Monterey Jack or pepper Jack instead of the cheddar.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
