Broccoli Soup in Slow Cooker Recipe
Start the preparation of the broccoli soup in slow cooker by cleaning and chopping half of a golden onion.
Place it in the slow cooker with a knob of butter.
Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets.
Place them also in the slow cooker, with the stems you can make pasta with broccoli cream.
Bring 2.5 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you prefer) to a boil.
Dissolve two tablespoons of corn starch in the broth.
Cook the soup on LOW for 6-7 hours, during the first two hours of cooking do not lift the lid.
At this point, you can add the fresh liquid cream to the soup.
Continue the preparation by adding the grated cheddar.
Mix well with a spoon (not metal) to combine these two ingredients.
Cover again with the lid and cook this time on HIGH for 30 minutes.
Transfer the broccoli soup to plates and, if desired, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some chopped chili pepper.
Garnish the dish with a few pieces of cheddar and serve the soup immediately.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How long does broccoli soup last in the fridge?
Broccoli soup keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Heat it over low heat or in the microwave before serving.
Can broccoli soup be frozen?
Of course! Once the soup has completely cooled, pour it into airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Before serving, let it thaw in the fridge and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally.
What is the best cheese to use if I don’t have cheddar?
If you don’t have cheddar, you can use other hard cheeses, such as Gouda, Emmental, or Gruyère, which will add good creaminess and a rich flavor.
Can I make this soup without a slow cooker?
Absolutely! If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make the soup in a large pot. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes or until the broccoli is soft, then follow the recipe by adding the cream and cheese.
