I love just about any Creamy Soup, but Creamy Broccoli Soup is one of my favorites.  I know that often cheddar cheese is added, but I wanted to make this version a little healthier, so I left it out.  But I promise, it still has all the flavor!  You can always garnish it with a little sprinkle of shredded cheddar if you like ;).  

The slow cooker makes this soup so easy as you can cook it while you are away and then just finish it for the last hour right before serving!

PREP-AHEAD TO MAKE YOUR BROCCOLI SOUP

We are all extremely busy and making dinner during the week can be overwhelming. Prepping meals ahead can make ALL the difference!  So, here are the steps you can do the day(s) in advance and store in the fridge…

Dice the carrots and the onions.  Mince the garlic.  Cut the broccoli florets into small bite-size pieces. I also love to use the top part of the stems diced. They have great flavor and should not be wasted.  

You can store all of the vegetables in a storage bag together in the fridge until you are ready to cook the soup.
