Ingredients

  • 4 cups russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots (if using), and broth in the crockpot. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  3. Stir in broccoli florets and cook for an additional 30 minutes until tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup, leaving some chunks for texture.
  5. Stir in shredded cheddar, cream, and butter. Mix until cheese is melted and soup is smooth.
  6. Adjust seasoning and let the soup rest on warm for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add cooked bacon or ham for extra flavor.
  • Blend in cream cheese for a richer texture.
  • Use milk and low-fat cheese for a lighter version.
  • Replace cream with plant-based milk and cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • Freezes well—cool completely before storing in freezer-safe containers.
