My husband loves soups, especially ones with broccoli. Becoming more interested in soup-making, I created a recipe for a rich broccoli soup that was full of a flavor and comfort. What a surprise I received when my husband gave it two-thumbs up! Ingredients:
2 ounces cream cheese |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
3 cups boiling water |
1 chicken bouillon cube |
4 cups chopped broccoli |
1 cup diced turnip |
1/2 of a medium sweet onion |
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled |
2 cups half-and-half |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cream cheese for 30 seconds. Mix in spice and set aside.
2. In another bowl, dissolve bouillion cube in 3 cups of boiling water. When dissolved, pour into a slow cooker.
3. Mix the cream cheese mixture into the bouillion water. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
4. Set slow cooker to cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours. Then using a hand blender, blend mixture until slightly smooth.
