This cheesy broccoli soup is made right in the crockpot and is unbelievably wonderful!
The very first recipe I posted on my blog was Cheddar Broccoli Soup. It has been one of my family's favorite soups for the past 8 years and we make it often. I do get a little nervous because it is made with a Ragu Double Cheese Sauce and I'm always afraid that one day, I will go to the store and it will be no longer available. I have tried a few different types of broccoli cheese soup here and there - thankfully, the Ragu is still at the store. This soup recipe comes from Ree Drummond and I should've known that PDub would have the perfect broccoli cheese soup recipe for me to keep handy, just in case. It does use Velveeta - which I have to be honest, is not my favorite - so I do like to add a little hot sauce to kind of cut into that artificial flavor. I am fairly certain I learned that trick from Ree also. I love that this is made in the crockpot too - just one more awesome bit to the recipe.

What you need:
- 1 lb. frozen broccoli florets
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 carrots, finely diced
- 5 cups chicken broth (vegetable for full meatless)
- 2 cans cream of celery soup
- 1/4 tsp. seasoning salt
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 lb. Velveeta
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Hot sauce, to taste
- In a slow cooker, add broccoli, onion, carrots, chicken broth, cream of celery soup, seasoning salt, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir together.
- Cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
- After 4 hours, take a potato masher (or immersion blender) and mash some of the soup.
- Add cheese and hot sauce, then cook on LOW for 15 minutes.
- Stir until cheese has melted. Adjust salt, pepper, and hot sauce to your liking.
This Bacon Beer Cheese Soup with Chicken is also a really amazing cheesy soup that I highly suggest - it's wonderful for Sunday football game-watching! I would love to try this Ham, Broccoli, and Cheese Chowder from A Day in the Life on the Farm because it looks like total comfort food and I love broccoli and cheese with ham!
