Recipe Tips

  • You can also make broccoli cheese soup over the stove if you’re running low on time. I prefer using the slow cooker as it tastes so much better.
  • Both fresh and frozen broccoli will work fine in this soup. If it’s available fresh at a reasonable price, then I recommend using that.
  • The chicken stock can be swapped for something else, such as vegetable stock or water.
  • You can leave this soup chunky, but you may need to thicken it slightly using some cornstarch.
