Tips:

  • For a creamier soup, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the pot before cooking the vegetables.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this soup in a large pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Just bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • To make the soup gluten-free, use gluten-free bread crumbs or crackers. You can also use a gluten-free flour blend to thicken the soup.
  • To make the soup vegetarian, omit the chicken broth and use vegetable broth instead. You can also add more vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.
  • For a healthier version of the soup, use low-fat milk or skim milk instead of whole milk. You can also use whole-wheat bread crumbs or crackers instead of white bread crumbs or crackers.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker broccoli cheddar soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and comforting soup that the whole family will enjoy.
