Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk whole or semi-skimmed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus extra for topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Food processor or blender
  • Large Soup Ladle
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Cooking spoon

Method
 

  1. Add the chopped broccoli, minced garlic, broth, milk, and butter into the slow cooker. Cover and set to cook on low for 4 hours, allowing the broccoli to soften and flavors to meld.
  2. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon or ladle to transfer the broccoli mixture to a food processor or blender.
  3. Puree the mixture until it's very smooth and velvety. Return the blended soup to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the soup is creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to combine.
  5. Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for an additional 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the cheese fully incorporate, creating a rich, smooth consistency.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, top with extra shredded cheese if desired, and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.

Notes

For a thicker soup, blend a little more broccoli or reduce the milk slightly. You can also add a splash of cream for extra richness.
