      Nope

  • Chantele

  • Nick

    […] searched for a crock pot version that could be made on set without a kitchen. Luckily I found this recipe(https://www.budgetsavvydiva.com/2012/02/crock-pot-broccoli-cheese-soup/). I am so excited to make […]

  • natalie

    You don’t say what size slow cooker to use… 1.5 qt, 3 qt, 4qt, or 6 qt?

  • Rebecca

    What is the serving size? I count my calories and it says this serves six but I need to know how much I can eat? : )

    • Linda

      Either measure amount you have when finished and divide by 6 or put into six bowls until gone.

  • Jessica

    I have this in my crock pot now. I’m worried I may have done it wrong. I wasn’t clear on whether or not I was supposed to add the milk to the cheddar soup like it asks you on the back of the can or not. I added the milk, but just subtracted an evaporated milk can. Hopefully it turns out okay, I’ve been looking forward to trying this.

    • Erin

      This is my same question. Do I add the 1 can of milk per can of cheddar cheese soup, in addition to the evaporated milk?

      • Jacki

        What is the response to this?? Making this tonight

      • Sherrill L. Van Valkenburgh

        NO! Two cans of soup go in, two cans of milk go in. Soup cans are always 10 3/4 oz., evaporated milk is in 12 oz. cans. That’s why the different numbers.

  • ivonne

    do you put in the broccoli frozen or thawed out?

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I put it in frozen

  • amber m

    I work full time and go to school full time. So in order to help my husband out I will surprise him with dinner already done.
    So I made this soup first thing this morning so by the time he gets home dinner is done.
    Hope he likes it Il let you know how it goes.

  • Kaylin

    OMG this was fantastic and super easy. I’m not a fan of onions so we omitted that and just used onion powder. I ate some the next day on crackers like a dip. My MIL ate 3 bowls as did the rest of us. I made home made croutons and that put it over the top. Thanks for posting this. I’m making it again this weekend since we are due for a snowstorm!!!!! Love crock pot recipes!!!!!! This would be fantastic in a bread bowl or even as a dip. YUMMY!!!!!!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I am so glad you liked it 🙂

  • Lisa

    Since I work full time, would it still be good if I leave it in the Crockpot for about 9 hours or will it burn??

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Make sure it is on low – it should be fine — use a crockpot liner so it does not burn

  • Kim

    I had to put in the broccoli stems. There was no way that I couldn’t have. I bought 2 16oz bags of chopped broccoli. If I picked out all the stems there wouldn’t have been enough broccoli & it would have taken hours to pick them out. Do you buy broccoli tops only? THe soup is real real thick right now (just placed everything in there). I added some cream to it for cooking. I might blend it up later to see if that thins it out. I cannot wait to taste it. 🙂

  • Kristi D.

    Really good! I accidentally only got one 16 oz bag of broccoli. Luckily I also had some fresh so I chopped it up and threw it in. I also used the stems or I wouldn’t have had enough. When the soup was done I just took a potato masher and broke up some of the bigger chunks of broccoli and stems. Made a very tasty and filling soup. For those who asked above: no you don’t put any additional milk in besides the evaporated milk.

  • Thalcomb

    Can this be frozen after? Thinking it would be great for quick meal.

  • michelle

    How much cheddar cheese do you use?

  • nancy

    I’m tryin to make this now and like an idiot i got two small 5 oz cans of evaporated milk can i substitute the rest with milk???? Please let me know this looks so yummy!!!

  • valene gibbs

    this looks easy, and good, I’ll add a few more spices

  • Heather Thiel

    There’s nothing better when you’re sick than broccoli cheese soup!

    (commenting for Quick giveaway 🙂

  • Stephanie Williams

    PIN!!!!!!!

  • Allie Talley

    I literally make this once a month. I love it that much!

  • Casey S

    Someone else asked this but I didn’t see an answer. Does anyone know a substitute for the canned cheddar soup? Would 2 cups of cheese sauce thinned a little work?

  • Julie

    Can you use fresh broccoli? Would you steam it first?

  • kristen

    Do we add any liquid to the crock pot?

  • Danna

    Do not, I repeat, do not cook it longer than the recipe says. Put my crockpot on low and cooked for about 8 hrs while I was at work… I wish I could share a picture. Just nasty. It separated and burned a little. I was hoping to salvage it, but it doesn’t taste like anything, except a little bit of broccoli maybe. 😛 Gonna have to try again on a weekend, I suppose. 🙁

If heated too high, you risk clumping and if too low, not melting properly. With soup, you might be able to fix it with an immersion blender, or you might not. At a temperature of 150 or so, the protein bonds in the cheese break down and as a result, too much fo the moisture escapes too quickly.

What cheese is the hardest to melt? ›

That varies by what's inside the slow cooker and also by the appliance's setting and model, the experts say. Most recipes for all-day cooking call for 6 to 8 hours on low. Quality- (and safety-) wise, another 1 to 2 hours in 'keep warm' mode won't mess things up.
