SLOW COOKER CREAMY POTATO, CABBAGE, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP



Slow Cooker Creamy Potato, Cabbage, Broccoli and Cheese Soup image

I wanted something a little healthier than regular potato soup. This has some extra veggies and fewer processed ingredients and is wonderful on a cold day. I had to guess on the cooking time as I was home for this and ended up cooking on high because I couldn't wait to eat it.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 6h30m

Yield 5 1/2 quarts, 11 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery, 2 stalks
12 ounces frozen broccoli florets
8 medium potatoes, cubed golden potato
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (or more)
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water (more or less)
1 small cabbage, chopped
8 ounces neufchatel cheese (cream cheese)
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (not the taco seasoning type, or cheddar if you like)
tony chachere's original creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Place everything except cabbage and cheese in a 6 quart crockpot.
  • Add as much cabbage as will fit and still leave about an inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.
  • Add water to almost cover the ingredients (about 2 cups when I made it).
  • Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
  • add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
  • This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.

THICK AND CREAMY BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP



Thick and Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup image

This recipe came from my husbands Uncle Robbie, who is a great Cook. We were visiting him in Memphis on a cold and snowy day gathering groceries for the next few days. I mentioned how great a bowl of TGI Fridays broccoli cheese soup would be. The next thing I know we gathered the ingredients and were savoring this soup. I am so glad we did not go to the restaurant!!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs fresh broccoli
1 cup green onion (chopped and tops and bottoms separated)
2 (10 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 lb colby cheese
1 -1 1/2 lb American cheese or 1 -1 1/2 lb cheddar cheese
1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
1 -2 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Steam Broccoli by either putting in Microwave safe dish with lid and a small amount of water, or on stove in a covered sauce pan and small amount of water.
  • Cook just until soft.
  • Oil skillet 1/8" in bottom.
  • Heat, then add 3 TBS Butter.
  • Add 2 Tbs Flour, chopped Green onion bottoms and ground Pepper.
  • Cook until Yellow in color, just enough so the flour is not raw.
  • Add 2 Cans of Chicken Broth.
  • Stir quickly, using whisk if you have one.
  • Add Steamed Broccoli and any pan liquids.
  • Add Green Onion tops, and Simmer 15-20 minutes on Med heat.
  • This will slightly reduce liquid and impart flavors. The broccoli breaks apart and "makes" the soup. If you would like whole pieces of broccoli, keep some out to add at the end. This way they will not overcook.
  • Reduce heat.
  • Add Colby and American Cheeses.
  • Cook on low 1 minute.
  • Add 1 Cup Half and Half slowly, so it will not clump.
  • Here you must watch temperature, so keep it on low.
  • Cook 10 minutes.
  • Add Cornstarch to water and stir.
  • Pour in 1/2 of cornstarch mixture and stir.
  • Then pour in 2nd half of mixture and stir.
  • Turn heat off and stir until thick.

~ MY CREAMY BROCCOLI/ CHEESE/ PASTA SOUP ~



~ My Creamy Broccoli/ Cheese/ Pasta Soup ~ image

A little restaurant we frequented when growing up made a soup very similar to this one. I made my own version of it and I think I've got it pretty darn close to theirs. We always liked how they added the pasta to it. It's the only place we ever had it served that way. My kids love it, and I hope you do too. Enjoy!

Categories     Other Soups

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1 large onion, chopped
1 large or 3 small stalks, celery, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 - 1 1/2 lb fresh broccoli - cleaned and pulled apart into pieces
1 - 32 oz chicken stock
2 - 2 1/2 c shredded, cheddar or any melting cheese - add more or less if you like
2 c milk
4 1/2 Tbsp each - butter & flour
1 c heavy cream
3 - 4 oz broken spaghetti - or other small pasta - prepared according to directions, drain, rinse and set aside
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a large dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter, then add onion, garlic and celery. Saute over med heat until tender crisp. Pour in chicken stock and broccoli and bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Carefully pour mixture into a blender, food processor or use a hand held blender to rough puree. I don't make mine completely smooth as we like a little texture. Pour back into pot, and keep the mixture warming over low heat. In a medium saucepan, melt the 4 1/2 tablespoons of butter and add the flour, whisk and cook over medium heat for a minute or two. Whisk in the cream and milk. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour the milk mixture into the warm broccoli mixture and stir well. Add desired amount of cheese and stir until melted. Add the cooked pasta, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until all is heated through. Taste and see if you want more seasoning or cheese. If so add it. Serve in bowls with shredded cheese, croutons, etc etc. I added some cubed ham I had left from Easter. Delicious!

CREAMY BROCCOLI TOMATO CHEESE SOUP

CREAMY BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP



Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup image

A rich and creamy soup that is simple to make and stays smooth, even after reheating. Unlike most broccoli soup recipes, this one uses beef broth which does not exactly change the traditional broccoli cheese flavor, but rather deepens it. This one is a family favorite!

Provided by Sweets n Supper

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 bowls, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large garlic clove (minced)
2 tablespoons minced fresh onions
1 cup beef broth
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups 2% low-fat milk
4 cups chopped broccoli
1/3 cup shredded carrot (optional)
1 stalk celery (finely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 1/2 ounces 2% cheddar cheese (sharp, block style cheese, freshly shredded or cut into small, thin pieces)
1/2 ounce smoked white cheddar cheese (block style, freshly shredded or cut into small, thin pieces)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, add butter, onions, and garlic. Sautee over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

CREAMY BROCCOLI-CHEESE SOUP



Creamy Broccoli-Cheese Soup image

Rich, creamy, and so delicious! We like this soup thick and pureed without big chunks of broccoli, nor do we like spice in it. If the soup seems to thick for your liking at the end of cooking, add a splash of milk or chicken broth to thin it out. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Provided by Crystal ~ @crystal7

Categories     Cream Soups

Number Of Ingredients 10

- ¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups of baby broccoli florets
- 2 cups freshly shredded cheese (mild cheddar or sharp cheddar
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (more or less)
- shredded cheese for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a stock pot over medium heat, and then add the onions. Cook the onions for 2 to 3 minutes, and then sprinkle the flour over the top. Stir to combine.
  • Pour and whisk in the milk and half-and-half. Add in the broccoli, salt, and black pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, transfer soup to a blender and puree completely.
  • Return the puree to the cooking pot, and stir in the freshly shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and the soup is smooth and creamy and heated through. (Taste test to see if more salt and pepper is needed. You can also add some spice at this time if you like spice in your soup). Note: Use any cheese or combination of cheeses you like. I use a combo of sharp and med. cheddar. Freshly shredded Cheddar cheeses melt much better than bagged cheese.
  • Serve immediately in either bread bowls, or soup bowls. Garnish with shredded cheese.
