Preparation Steps

  • First, chop the onions and broccoli. You can sauté them for extra flavor. Then, add them to the crockpot with other ingredients.

Cooking Instructions

  • Cooking the soup is straightforward. Set the crockpot to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. This lets the flavors mix and the soup tenderize.

Blending and Finishing Touches

  • After cooking, blend the soup to your liking. Add cheddar cheese or crusty bread for extra flavor. These touches make the soup even better.

Notes

Here are some tips to keep in mind:
  • Refrigerate the soup for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months for a quick and easy healthy dinner option.
  • Reheat the soup to a safe temperature to ensure food safety.
  • Adjust the amount of cheese for a lower calorie version or use gluten-free broth for those with gluten intolerance, making it a great slow cooker recipe for special diets.
