- 2 pcs russet potatoes diced
 - 4 cups fresh broccoli florets approx. 1 head of broccoli
 - 1 pcs yellow onion diced
 - 2 pcs garlic cloves minced
 - 1 pcs carrot chopped
 - 1 pcs bay leaf
 - 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
 - 8 oz full fat cream cheese see 'notes' in post
 - salt & pepper to taste
 - 2 cups shredded cheddar freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded
 
 
To a slow cooker, add all of the ingredients EXCEPT for the shredded cheese. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Remove bay leaf. Puree soup with an immersion blender to your desired consistency. I like some chunks, so I puree only some of the soup. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, put lid back on slow cooker and cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Enjoy!
