Notes

Slow Cooker Directions

Start by sauteing onions and butter on the stove in a skillet. Once softened pour into the slow cooker. Add in your chicken stock, broccoli, and carrots along with salt and pepper. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.

Now add in your shredded cheese and heavy cream. If you want use an immersion blender to mix up the soup a bit and make smaller pieces. Make your cornstarch slurry and stir in. Cook another 15-30 minutes till thickened.

Instant Pot Directions

Instant Pot directions are the exact same as the Ninja Foodi.

Stovetop Directions

You will saute the onions and butter in a pan. Then once softened add in the chicken stock, broccoli, carrots and salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.

Once the broccoli is softened, you can then use an immersion blender if you want to break it up. Stir in the heavy cream and cheese. Turn the heat up a bit and then stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken.
