- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and measure out the broccoli florets to have all ingredients ready for easy assembly.
- Combine in Crockpot: Place the broccoli, chopped onion, minced garlic, and vegetable broth into the crockpot, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Slow Cook: Cook the mixture on low heat for 6 hours or until the broccoli is tender enough to blend smoothly.
- Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients in the crockpot until the soup reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add Dairy: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until fully incorporated and the cheese is melted into the soup.

- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- For a non-vegetarian version, you can use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a vegan cheese alternative.
- The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only half the soup and stir the unblended portion back in.
