  1. Spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or use a crockpot liner.
  2. Add in the broccoli, carrots, onion, seasonings, and 3 cups of chicken broth.
  3. Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1 cup chicken broth and pour that in to the crock pot.
  4. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
  5. *If your broccoli florets were large when frozen, chop them smaller, now that they are cooked and soft.

Notes

  • Substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
  • Use Velveeta in place of the shredded cheddar cheese, if you prefer.
  • Refrigerate up to 5 days. If the soup is too thick when reheating, add a splash of milk, cream or broth.
  • Use plant based cream or evaporated milk in place of the heavy cream. You can use regular milk or leave it out completely, but the soup won't be as creamy.
  • If you like your soup extra smooth, use an immersion blender or carefully ladle into a blender and mix well to make it smooth.
