Broccoli Cheese Soup for the Crock Pot

Reviews

• "This is awesome.. Turn off the crock about 30 minutes before serving, and it thickens up really nice."

• "I made this recipe for dinner last night with a few changes and it was fantastic. First I decided to not use the crock pot because I thought that was what was making it weird and curdle. Second I used red and yellow peppers just because I didn't have a green one. I also added a little black pepper and garlic powder. I mixed the milk and the soup with a whisk until smooth before adding it to the soup pot. I waited until the soup was hot before adding the cheese and stirred constantly until all the cheese had melted. AGAIN, FANTASTIC!!! I will use it again omitting the broccoli and adding potatoes for a potato cheese soup."

• "I tried this recipe yesterday and loved it :) I doubled everything but the broccoli and added diced potatoes... previous posts are right though that this isnt something to throw in and leave, I whisked the soap and milk together first, let it get warm in the crock-pot then added the cheese, whisking it every half hour or so till it was well blended, I did also add a little extra milk and some garlic powder.... It is a little work, but totally worth it :) Delicious!!"

• "Mine also turned out weird and curdle-y... I don't think this is a recipe to throw in and forget - I'm guessing it should be watched and cooked on Low for less time... And although the recipe seems like it would be, it doesn't taste that great... Wouldn't recommend"

• "I cooked it on low for 3 1/2 hours and it turned out weird and curdle-y....maybe I cooked it too long?"

• "This was very good, considering how easy it was to make. I used reduced fat versions of the dairy products. The Velveeta thickened the soup just right. This is a great soup to throw in the crockpot on a busy day and come back later to a warm, cheesey soup. Thanx!"

• "I made this for a family get together. Wasn't sure if everyone would like the broccoli, so I made some adjustments, and it was a hit! Added no broccoli and instead added 3 large potatoes, peeled cubed and par boiled, and 2 lbs of cubed ham. Started the potatoe prep first so by the time everything else was ready, the potatoes were ready to be drained and added.
  
  Husband liked it so much that we bought the ingredients and made it at home for just us...."

• "This was really good. My DH, who doesn't eat cooked broccoli had two dishes and said - this is good. Believe me that is ten stars coming from him. Mine curdled a little too, don't know why unless I simmered it on too high a heat, but didn't affect the taste at all. I also made this on the stove. I will be making this again and again. May add chedder cheese soup in place of the velveeta sometime."

• "Enjoyed this a lot! I did change a couple of things like using low fat milk, (not skim), low fat Velveeta, and extra broccoli with cauliflower (had this in the fridge) also adding the addition of a teaspoon of Tabasco with minced jalapeno instead of green pepper. This is a great recipe that turned out beautifully! Thanks for posting!"

• "just made this and loved it super easy :) I just put the green peppers / onions and butter all int he pot with everything else worked just fine. Also added alittle more milk , some pepper , garlic powder , small cubed potatoes and 6 chopped up slices of cooked bacon. I was home while cooking so I did stir it about every 20-30min and it turned out creamy and smooth will defently do this again great crock.pot meal and very easy to make I only gave 4 stars because I do believe you have to be home to stir this for it to turn out propperly not a sit and leave meal IMO"

• "Well, my soup certainly did not look like the photo. It was really curdled looking. Taste was not bad I guess. I did add garlic powder and black pepper. I tried to remedy the curdle with milk but no luck."

• "I found this soup easy and delicious. I used broccoli florets, which I chopped slightly. I did add a little extra milk and pepper. I don't know how it could curdle with Velveeta. I stirred the milk into the cream of chicken until blended, and then I kept stirring occasionally until the Velveeta melted. This would probably be good with some cubed potatoes! Highly recommend!"

• "Tastes too much like Velvetta...needs to be balanced with other cheeses. I will try another recipe."
