Crockpot Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This makes a lot of soup, so go ahead and freeze half for later. You can make this easier by using premade cream of chicken soup and then serve with homemade bread.

Step 1

Add chicken, broth, half the broccoli, and seasoning into the crockpot. In a medium saucepan, sauté onion and celery in 1 tbsp of butter until onions are translucent and celery is soft. Put into crockpot. (You can skip this step, but I prefer to cook out the raw veggie taste)

Step 2

In a medium pot, melt 2 tbsp of butter. When melted, add 2 tbsp of flour while whisking. Continue to whisk while it cooks for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly pour milk into flour and butter mixture, while continuing to whisk.

Step 4

Add shredded cheese into milk mixture in small batches, making sure that each batch is fully melted before adding more.

Step 5

Add cheese mixture into crockpot and stir together. Turn crockpot on low for 4 hours. After 4 hours, add remaining broccoli to the crockpot.

Step 6

Allow soup to cook an additional 1-2 hours, or until chicken is easily shredded.
