The Best Broccoli Cheddar Soup With Chicken

This is delicious and lower-fat than most creamy soups as it has no cream in it. I have adapted it from a number of broccoli soups and added chicken (use pre cooked to save time) to make it a more complete meal. Perfect winter comfort food!!

Steps

Saute onion and garlic with 2 tbsp butter until onion is becoming translucent.
In another pan melt remaining butter and slowly add flour to create a roue.
Combine all ingredients in crock pot and simmer on high for 4 hours or until potatoes are tender.
You may need to stir often during first hour to ensure all ingredients are combined.
Top with additional cheddar cheese and green onions if you like !.

Ingredients
