Ingredients
→ Vegetables
2 pounds frozen broccoli florets
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large onion, finely diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
→ Liquids and Broth
1 1/3 cups chicken broth
→ Dairy and Cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
→ Canned Goods
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
→ Seasonings and Thickeners
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Steps
Dissolve the all-purpose flour into the chicken broth thoroughly to create a smooth mixture that will thicken the soup during cooking.
Add the cubed potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, frozen broccoli florets, cubed Velveeta cheese, cream of chicken soup, and cream of mushroom soup into the crockpot. Pour the flour and chicken broth mixture evenly over the top.
Secure the crockpot lid and cook on high heat for 4 to 5 hours, allowing the vegetables to soften and flavors to meld.
Stir the soup thoroughly to combine all ingredients smoothly. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste. Serve hot.
Tips
- Dissolving the flour in broth first prevents lumps and ensures a creamy, smooth texture.
