As I was looking to try my own version of broccoli cheese soup, I wanted to stick with ingredients that I normally buy and not force myself to get a processed log of velveeta. Not that I'm completely against the cheese, I just prefer less processed varieties.
Ingredients:
2 C skim or low fat milk
4 C chicken broth
1/2 onion, petite diced
24 oz frozen broccoli
3/4 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 C shredded mozzarella cheese
Stir together milk, broth, onion, broccoli, pepper, and nutmeg in a 6 QT slow cooker. Heat on low 5-7 hours until onions are transparent and soft.
Add cheese and allow to melt. The cheese will stick to the broccoli and not absorb into the broth. Carefully wisk (avoid scrapping the bottom of the stoneware with metal wisk) or use immersion blender to break up and distribute the cheese throughout soup.
Serve with rolls or biscuits and enjoy!
Note: This is a thinner (skinnier) version of broccoli cheese soup, the texture is different but the taste is delicious!
