What Kind of Cheese Should I Use?

Sharp cheddar is the classic choice and gives the soup its bold, savory richness. You can blend it with Colby or Monterey Jack for a creamier finish. Avoid pre-shredded cheese if possible, as it doesn’t melt as smoothly as freshly grated blocks.

Ingredients for the Creamy Crockpot Cheesy Potato Broccoli Soup

Each ingredient in this soup brings comfort and flavor to the bowl:

Russet Potatoes – These starchy potatoes provide a creamy texture once cooked down.
Fresh Broccoli Florets – Adds color, nutrients, and a gentle crunch to contrast the creaminess.
Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese – Delivers that rich, cheesy depth we crave in every spoonful.
Onion and Garlic – The aromatic base that builds flavor from the start.
Vegetable or Chicken Broth – Liquid gold that blends all the flavors together.
Heavy Cream or Half & Half – Brings a smooth, luxurious body to the soup.
Salt and Pepper – The essential final touch.

How To Make the Creamy Crockpot Cheesy Potato Broccoli Soup

Step 1: Prep the Vegetables

Peel and dice your potatoes into small cubes. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.

Step 2: Layer and Cook

Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, and broth to your crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3: Blend for Creaminess

Use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup directly in the pot, leaving chunks for texture. (Or, remove 2 cups and blend, then return to crock.)

Step 4: Stir in Broccoli and Cheese

Add broccoli florets and cook for another 30 minutes until tender. Stir in shredded cheddar and heavy cream. Mix well until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.

Step 5: Taste and Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with extra cheese on top, if desired.
