Ingredients
2 cups water
2 cups of chicken broth (heated in the microwave)
5 cups fresh broccoli flowerets cut into small pieces
8 oz softened cream cheese
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp of softened unsalted butter
Dash of thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Chop up the broccoli crowns into small flowerets and set aside. It's important the raw broccoli be cut into small pieces if it to cook to tender.
In the crock pot add the butter, softened cream cheese, whipping cream, chicken broth, water and mix well.
Once fully combined add the parmesan cheese.
Next add the chopped broccoli crowns, thyme.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours or medium-high for 80 minutes.
Then simply give the soup a good stir and then add the 2 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir a few times allowing the cheddar cheese to melt completely.
At this point you should taste and add the salt and pepper to taste.
Note that this is a thick soup, you can thin it out by adding more water or chicken broth once it is all fully combined.
Notes
If you prefer a thicker soup you can reduce the water by a one cup and add more if needed. Alternatively, you can increase the cheddar cheese to 3 cups.
You can opt to use frozen broccoli rather than fresh. If you do so adjust the cook time by half since the soup will cook a lot quicker.
