Notes

Use the best slow cooker! I used my 6-quart slow cooker to make this broccoli cheddar soup. And don’t forget to use these slow cooker liners for easy cleanup.
It’s very important that you use a block of cheddar cheese and grate it yourself. Packaged shredded cheese is coated in starch to prevent the cheese from sticking together, which also makes it hard for the cheese to melt properly in the soup. Trust me, I’ve tried every brand of pre-packaged shredded cheese in hopes that it would melt properly and they always failed or left a “grainy” texture to the soup.
We always have leftovers because it’s just my husband and I right now, so I just place the leftovers in a freezer bag and it stays good in the freezer up to 3 months.
When it comes to toppings, I love to serve this broccoli cheddar soup with croutons and extra shredded cheese.
