Soup is the ultimate comfort food to me! It brings warmth and fills you up… the perfect combination when there’s a chill in the air! This Cheddar Broccoli Soup has a nice creamy base, with some broccoli florets for texture, and just the right amount of cheese! This soup will be one of the easiest you’ve ever made…it will only taste like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen! I hope you enjoy this Dashing version of a traditional rich and creamy soup!

Easy Cheesy Broccoli Soup
Here's the Dish
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 4-8 Hours.
1
Place all of the ingredients in a crock pot on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours. OR place in a large sauce pan on medium-low heat on your stove top for about 30-45 minutes, or until broccoli is soft.
2
Before serving, scoop out 1/2 of the broccoli florets, and some of the liquid, and place it in a blender.
(This will give you a nice creamy based soup, with some broccoli florets for texture, but you could pour all of it in the blender if you desire a creamy soup. *Tip: Use a kitchen towel to cover the top of the blender as a safety measure any time you are blending something hot).
3
Puree broccoli in the blender, and pour back into the crock pot. Stir until everything is well combined.
4
Serve immediately, or transfer to a Tupperware and store in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
5
Top with reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese if desired! Enjoy!

Hey Katie,
I was wondering if we do not buy the broccoli with the cheese sauce if there was any way to make our own cheese sauce if it would come out the same?
Dashing Dish said:
Sure! That would work too!

I’m new to your blog-and also new to weight watchers.I appericate how you add the w.w.points to the receipes.Just one question the points you have on your receipes, are they from weight watchers plus points program (the newest program)? or are they from the “old” program.?
