Slow Cooker Broccoli Soup

I've been working on getting some freezer meals together for upcoming weeks. I like soups and chili's the best in individual servings. They are quick and easy to pull out and microwave for a meal, especially when cooking for 1.

This is a Broccoli soup that I've been working on and now my freezer is packed with quite a few meals!

The veggies can be roughly chopped because I use an immersion blender at the end to smooth out the soup. 

I recommend using Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth. Add the salt in yourself to taste to keep the sodium levels down. 

Ingredients: 

• 2 heads of broccoli
• 3 or 4 carrots, roughly chopped
• 3 ribs celery, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cups of Swanson unsalted chicken broth
• 4 cups of Fat Free Half and Half
• 2 cups Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Salt or to taste

Directions: 

• Add everything into the slow cooker except the cheese, pepper and salt. 
• Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. 
• Use the immersion blender to smooth out the soup. 
• Add the cheese, black pepper and salt.
• Cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning. 

This recipe makes 8 servings at 1 & 1/2 cups each for 4 pts on Weight Watchers Freestyle Program. 

Enjoy!
