Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this soup on the stovetop instead of a Crock Pot?
Yes, you can! Simply follow the same steps, but cook the potatoes and onion in a large pot over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Then, add the broccoli, cheese, and cream, and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?
Absolutely. Frozen broccoli works just as well in this recipe. Add it directly to the Crock Pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking, just as you would with fresh broccoli.
What type of potatoes work best for this soup?
Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for this soup due to their creamy texture when cooked. However, you can use any variety of potatoes you have on hand.
How can I make this soup healthier?
To lighten up this soup, you can use low-fat cheddar cheese and substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or even milk. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture and richness of the soup.
