Healthy AND Comforting Soups
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!

Time Saving Prep Steps for Creamy 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.
Cook Your Creamy Broccoli Soup
To the Crockpot or Slow Cooker, add the broth, onions, carrots, and broccoli.
Add the minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Cook for 6-8 hours, depending on your schedule.
After the cooking time is done, transfer 2 cups to a blender and purée until smooth.
Add purée back to soup pot and mix to combine.
Mix 1 cup milk with 6 Tbls cornstarch and combine to make a slurry thickener. Whisk in slurry and cook on high for 1 hour.
For the final touch, stir in ½ cup half n half. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
That’s it! ENJOY! 😍 Carrie

Kat says
Is this supposed to be 6 hours in the slow cooker or 8 hours the break down at the top of the recipe info says cook time 6 hours and your directions say 8 hours.
Carrie Tyler says
Hi Kat! Thank you so much for the question and for pointing out the confusion. I have updated the recipe for clarity. The soup can cook at either time setting, either 6 hours or 8 hours, depending on your schedule. If you have any other questions, please let me know!
Thanks again!
