I saw some members add in mushrooms, garnish with bacon pieces, green onions and even a dollop of sour cream. Others have added chopped chicken to it. Let me know if you try this nice Somersizing soup - it doesn't feel like dieting. ;) Can't wait to try this one. Ingredients:
10 -12 ounces broccoli, thawed |
8 ounces cream cheese |
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
6 slices bacon, crumbled |
1 medium onion, diced |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded |
pepper |
1 dash garlic powder, to taste |
Directions:
1. Bring cream cheese to room temperature ( I microwave it on 4 for 1-1.5 minutes.)
2. Pour broth and cream cheese into slow cooker, heat till smooth. Meanwhile, in a pot sautee onion in 2T. butter till almost transparent.
3. Then add thawed broccoli and cook till tender.
4. Add broccoli/onion mixture to slow cooker.
5. Pour in cream and 2 cups of cheese.
6. Heat through till cheese completely melts.
7. Delicious!
