Ingredients
2-3 large heads of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of chicken, potato, or mushroom soup
2 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk
1 can (10.5 ounces) whole milk
1 large onion, diced
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping
Directions
Add the broccoli florets, cream soup, evaporated milk, whole milk, and diced onion to your slow cooker and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until the broccoli is very tender.
Carefully remove about 3-4 cups of the soup from the slow cooker and place it in a blender. Blend for about 10 seconds until the broccoli has broken down into small, creamy pieces.
Pour the blended soup back into the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to combine the chunky and creamy portions evenly.
Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper to your preference.
Ladle soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a genuine weeknight win: broccoli and cheddar are year-round staples at every Charlotte chain, evaporated milk and cream soup are pantry items, and the ingredient list costs under $12 for six servings. The stated 250 minutes is honest—mostly hands-off in the crockpot, though you'll need 10 minutes to chop an onion and broccoli at the start. The soup reheats beautifully and feeds a family without fuss or constant attention, but it leans heavy on the cream soup as a shortcut, which means the flavor profile is more convenience-store than homemade, and the texture can turn gluey if you're not careful with the ratio of milk to solids.
