Slow Cooker Time HIGH6 hr
Slow Cooker Time LOW9 hr
Ingredients
- 1 quart chicken broth (or vegetable)
- 2 cup milk (author used 2 percent cow's milk)
- 2 (10-ounce) bags of frozen broccoli florets
- 1/2 diced white onion
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup each of three different cheeses: Jarlsberg, Gruyere and Cheddar
Instructions
-
Mince the onion into really small pieces. (The onions are going to soften in the milk and the broth, and need to be quite small so you don't crunch on onion pieces when the soup is complete.)
-
Add the onion to your slow cooker, and top with the milk, broth, and spices. Stir in the two frozen bags of broccoli.
-
Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or on high for 4 to 6. The broth is done when the onion is cooked nicely.
-
Twenty minutes or so before serving, shred all the cheese you are going to use, and stir it in. The cheese will be stringy and will stick to the broccoli florets---that's okay!
-
Serve with your favorite rolls or drop biscuits.
