Step 1
Lightly heat the chicken broth, cream cheese, Cheddar, butter, and onion flakes in a large pot over medium heat. Stir everything together until it’s nice and smooth, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, stir in the heavy cream and chicken, and let it come to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
While that’s heating up, set up a steamer over boiling water and steam the broccoli for about 4 to 5 minutes until it’s tender. Once it’s done, drain any extra moisture by transferring the broccoli to a colander.
Step 3
Pour the cheesy chicken mixture into your slow cooker and add the steamed broccoli. Let it cook on low for around 4 hours so all the flavors can really meld together. When it’s ready, give it a good stir and enjoy your creamy, comforting soup!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve this soup warm with a sprinkle of grated cheese or a dollop of sour cream on top. It pairs well with a side salad or a few low-carb crackers for added crunch.
Food Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep it creamy. Avoid freezing if the soup contains dairy, as it may separate.
