crock pot Cheesy Veggie Soup

It has been below freezing here everyday, all day lately and in my book that makes it time for soup!

I've had this recipe pinned in my pinterest recipe board for awhile and decide now was the time to try it out and have some yummy soup. It was so yummy in fact that the only picture I got was before I added the cheese and even then it look scrumptious.

 

 

Cheesy Veggie Soup
 

2 Tablespoons butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup finely chopped carrots

3 celery stalks, finely chopped 

1/2 Tablespoon minced garlic

4 cups chicken broth

2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 Tablespoon flour

1/2 cup water

2/3 cup milk

2 cups chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen, either works)

2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese

Melt butter in a large pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender. Add garlic, cook 1 or 2 additional minutes. Put the sauteed veggies into your crock pot along with chicken broth, potatoes, and broccoli. Set on LOW 6 to 8 hours. 20 minutes before you are ready to eat, mix flour with water, add to pot, allow soup to thicken slightly. Stir in milk and cheese, allow to melt, and serve.

Best served with warm rolls to dip in the soup and clean up your bowl when finished.
