How To Make Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese Soup

1. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the broccoli, onion, carrots, chicken broth, cream of celery soup, seasoned salt, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the slow cooker. Stir them together, cover with the lid, and set the cooker on high for 4 hours.
2. Puree the Soup: After 4 hours, use an immersion blender to puree about three-quarters of the soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can mash the soup or use a regular blender. Be careful if using a regular blender: blend only 1 cup at a time to avoid splashing.
3. Add Cheese: Cut the Velveeta into chunks and add it to the soup along with the grated cheddar cheese. Cover and set the slow cooker to low for 15 minutes.
4. Stir and Season: Stir the soup until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you think it’s needed.
5. Serve and Store: Serve the soup warm. It’s perfect for a cozy meal. You can keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days and reheat them when you’re ready to enjoy them again.
