Ingredients

For this Crockpot Potato Broccoli Cheddar Soup, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets: Use fresh broccoli for the best texture and flavor. If using frozen broccoli, you can add it during the last hour of cooking.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped: Adds depth and sweetness to the soup.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced: Provides a rich, aromatic flavor.
  • 4 cups diced potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes): Yukon gold or russet potatoes work best for their creamy texture when cooked.
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth): Chicken broth offers a richer base, but vegetable broth works well for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 cup heavy cream: Adds a rich and velvety texture to the soup.
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese: Use high-quality sharp cheddar for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme: Adds a subtle earthy flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika: Provides a mild smokiness.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste: Adjust to your preference.
  • 2 tablespoons butter: Used for the roux to thicken the soup.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour: Helps thicken the soup to a creamy consistency.
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional): Adds a fresh, bright finishing touch.
