TROUBLESHOOTING & TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• For best results, troubleshooting and tips, please visit the original (stove-top) recipe on the
Wholesome Yum website: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/broccoli-cheese-soup
• The original recipe called for sautéing the garlic first. You can do this for a minute in a pan before
placing it in the Crock Pot, but it’s still good if you skip that step.
• Unlike the stove-top recipe, you cannot add the cheese without removing the broccoli first. The heat
of a slow cooker is too low, so the cheese will not melt well and likely clump to the broccoli florets.
Remove the florets with a slotted spoon first, melt in the cheese, then add the broccoli back in.
• Just like the stove-top version, you can make a pureed soup by using an immersion blender if
desired.
