Method
 

How to Make Crockpot Potato Broccoli Cheddar Soup
  1. Place the diced potatoes, broccoli florets, onion, garlic, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper into your crockpot. Give everything a gentle stir.
  2. Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the vegetables are tender.
  3. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk or half-and-half, stirring to avoid lumps. Once thickened, fold in the sharp cheddar and let it melt.
  5. Pour the creamy cheddar mixture into the crockpot with the cooked vegetables and stir well.
  6. Blend slightly with an immersion blender if desired, or leave the soup chunky.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra shredded cheese if desired.
