THE BEST BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP WITH CHICKEN

The Best Broccoli Cheddar Soup With Chicken image

This is delicious and lower-fat than most creamy soups as it has no cream in it. I have adapted it from a number of broccoli soups and added chicken (use pre cooked to save time) to make it a more complete meal. Perfect winter comfort food!

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 serving, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 (8 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup flour
8 tablespoons butter (I like smart balance) or 8 tablespoons butter, alternative (I like smart balance)
1 cup diced red onion
2 cups minced fresh broccoli
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups shredded chicken
12 ounces cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons fresh garlic cloves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Saute onion and garlic with 2 tbsp butter until onion is becoming translucent.
In another pan melt remaining butter and slowly add flour to create a roue.
Combine all ingredients in crock pot and simmer on high for 4 hours or until potatoes are tender.
You may need to stir often during first hour to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Top with additional cheddar cheese and green onions if you like!

Tips:

To make your soup extra creamy, use a food processor or blender to puree some of the soup before adding the chicken back in.
For a thicker soup, add more flour to the roux. For a thinner soup, add more milk or broth.
If you don't have any sharp cheddar cheese on hand, you can use a combination of other cheeses, such as mild cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
To make your soup more flavorful, add a bay leaf or two to the pot while it's simmering.
Serve your soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This cheddar chicken soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give this cheddar chicken soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
