Crockpot Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup
Cozy, cheesy, and completely hands-off. If you’ve made my Broccoli Cheese Soup on the stovetop before, you already know it’s one of my family’s all-time favorites — loaded with real cheese and flavor in every bite. But sometimes you just want that same creamy comfort without babysitting a pot on the stove. That’s where this Crockpot Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup comes in. It’s my dump-and-go version that still gives you all the rich, homemade flavor of the classic — no sautéing, no roux, just toss it all in and let the slow cooker do the work. Campbell’s® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup adds instant creaminess and that nostalgic cheesy flavor everyone loves. If you love my Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup, Lasagna Soup, or Crockpot Corn Chowder — this one belongs right next to them in your cozy soup lineup.
