Ingredients

• 4 cups (chopped) Fresh broccoli
• 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 1 cup (chopped) Celery
• 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups (grated) Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by washing, chopping the broccoli into small florets, shredding the carrots, chopping the celery, and dicing the onion.

Step 2

In a crockpot, add the broccoli, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and chicken broth.

Step 3

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika for seasoning.

Step 4

Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Once the vegetables are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup slightly until it reaches your desired consistency. Leave some chunks for texture if preferred.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the crockpot and stir well.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the grated cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the soup is smooth.

Step 8

Add the butter and stir to enhance the creaminess.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve warm garnished with extra shredded cheese or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
