Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Soup
**Ingredients:**
- 500g broccoli florets
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 potato, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 750ml vegetable stock
- 150g cheddar cheese, grated
- 100ml thickened cream
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Crusty bread, to serve
**Method:**
Melt the butter and toss the onion around for a minute or two before tipping it into the slow cooker with the broccoli, potato, garlic and stock. Cover and cook on low for five hours, or on high for two and a half, until the vegetables are soft enough to mash easily. Blend the soup right in the pot with a stick blender until smooth, then stir through the cheese and cream until melted and well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper, ladle into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread on the side.
