Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the crock pot
Add diced potatoes, broccoli, onion, garlic, and broth into the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Step 2: Cook slowly
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the broccoli is soft.
Step 3: Blend for creaminess (optional)
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup directly in the crock pot. Leave some chunks for a hearty feel.
Step 4: Add cheese and milk
Stir in the shredded cheddar, milk (or cream), and butter. Cook for an additional 10–15 minutes on low, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve and garnish
Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings: extra cheddar, green onions, or crispy bacon for a finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
