Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup

It’s finally fall meaning the it’s perfect time to cook all the soup! Our favorite way to cook up soup is in the Crock-Pot Cook & Carry Slow Cooker. We are so excited to share with you our new broccoli cheddar soup recipe for Crocktober. Our favorite slow-cooker makes this recipe extra creamy and delicious!

The best part of the slow-cooker is that you can throw all of the ingredients in the pot, press a button and it cooks perfectly all day! It is awesome for a busy family, student or someone who works all day. Plus, your house smells delicious while it’s cooking and dinner is ready once it’s done (it stays warm even when it’s done cooking!)

Another awesome feature of the slow-cooker is that you can lock it up and carry it anywhere once it is done cooking! Plus, it can make enough food for 7 or more people (meaning plenty to share with our huge family!)
