4-Ingredient Crock Pot Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe

With only four ingredients, this broccoli cheese soup couldn't be easier, and the crock pot makes cooking nearly hands-free. It's an excellent soup to fix on a cold winter day. Put it on in the morning and come home from work (or play) to a crock pot of creamy broccoli cheese soup. Or fix it and refrigerate it for lunch the next day. To add a burst of color and some extra flavor and texture to the soup, feel free to add some finely diced steamed carrots or finely chopped red bell pepper to the finished soup. To lighten the soup up a bit, use half cream and half chicken broth, or use milk and add it just before the soup is done. Garnish the soup with some shredded cheddar cheese or croutons. This recipe makes enough for six, and it's incredibly easy to scale up for a potluck or special gathering. If you do take it along to a party or big dinner, serve it hot right from the slow cooker. Serve it with sandwiches or a chopped or tossed salad for a delicious lunch or light supper. For a stovetop version made with a homemade sauce, take a look at this broccoli and cheddar cheese soup.
