Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup

I'm on a roll, folks!  If it weren't for Pinterest, I'd say I'm a Paula Deen in the making.  I was craving soup last week, and pinned a random recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup.  It sounded simple enough, so I bought the ingredients (only five of them!) this weekend and made it tonight.  Oh.my.word.  It far surpassed my expectations and is in fact, the BEST broccoli cheese soup I have ever tasted.  It's just perfect.  I would go as far to say it blows Panera out of the water and would compete with any fancy schmancy restaurants out there.  If you loved my honey chicken, you won't want to miss this!



Broccoli Cheese Soup

1/2 cup onions, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 (10 ounce) can of cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups milk
1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed

Saute onion in butter.  Combine all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours.  Do not add salt.

**I wanted to speed up the process, so I bought a bag of broccoli I could steam in the microwave.  I then sauteed my onions and put the already steamed broccoli in the crockpot.  I cooked about an hour on high and it was perfect.  

And, you're welcome.  :)

I trust any Amy Browning recipe, so I will be trying this one also! Does it matter how much broccoli you put?

julie- i totally forgot to include that in the ingredients! oops! i used a steamers bag- i think that's actually what it was called. i can't remember how many ounces exactly, but i don't think it matters.
