Ingredients

  • 4 cups Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded or diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Add potatoes, broccoli, carrots, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to the crockpot.
  2. Pour in broth and stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until vegetables are tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup for creaminess, leaving some chunks. Alternatively, mash some potatoes with a fork.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth and melted.
  6. Add butter and stir until incorporated. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add cooked bacon or ham for a smoky protein boost.
  • Use milk instead of cream for a lighter version.
  • Add cauliflower or spinach for more veggies.
  • Soup thickens when chilled—add broth or milk when reheating.
  • Freezes well for up to 2 months.
