FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  Can I cook this on high instead of low?  I recommend sticking to low and slow so the veggies can get nice and soft. Why did my cream and flour mixture get clumpy? Typically the cream and flour will clump together if you don’t mix them together ahead of time so they get a nice smooth texture. Can I make this soup smoother? Yes, if you want this to be a bit smoother, with less chunks, you can use an immersion blender to blend things out some. What else can I add to the soup? Try adding some other vegetables like cauliflower, peas, or cauliflower to the soup. If you want some heat, try adding some red pepper flakes or jalapeños at the end. You can add some meat choices before serving if you’d like. Try chopped ham or cooked bacon in the soup. What to serve with Slow Cooker Broccoli Potato Soup? This soup is a whole meal in itself, but it can absolutely be served with sandwiches like Grilled Cheese, Turkey sandwiches, etc. It’s perfect to pair with your favorite salad and a few slices of Crusty Bread.

Serve and enjoy. What’s the best way to store leftovers? Any leftovers can be transferred to an airtight container once they’ve cooled down. You can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Once leftovers have cooled completely, you can freeze them in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. The best way to reheat is in the stovetop or in the microwave. If you find that your soup is too thick, you can thin with some extra broth. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) carrots, celery, onion – sometimes you can find these three already chopped up in a container in the produce section of your grocery store if you need a time saver. It will usually be called a “mire pox”. garlic – fresh minced garlic gives you a stronger garlic flavor but the jarred stuff works fine here. potatoes – I prefer russets. They are the most affordable and they cook up perfectly in this. You could use Yukon gold. I wouldn’t recommend a waxy potato like a red potato. broccoli florets – fresh or frozen chicken broth– if in a pinch, you can use vegetable broth instead. This is also a vegetarian option. If you are sensitive to sodium or watching your sodium, grab the low or no sodium broth. heavy cream– if you only have half and half, you can use that if you’re in a pinch. The soup will be thinner though. flour – you can use cornstarch if you need a gluten free option. shredded sharp cheddar cheese– you can use pre-shredded bagged cheese if that is all you have, but, if you have the time and capability, freshly grating your cheese from the block melts better. You can use different cheese options like Monterey Jack, Colby, or a cheese blend, if needed.
