Beef House Broccoli Soup

by Debbi DeSisto

Hearty, delicious and nutritious, this is one of my favorite soups. It's tasty and hard to beat a warm, smooth soup such as this on a cold winter day.

1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoon flour
1 quart chicken stock
1 lb fresh broccoli, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 lb processed cheese
1 pint milk
1 pint half and half
1/2 tablespoon pepper

Place the melted butter, chopped onion, chopped celery, broccoli and the carrots in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken stock over top of the vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours. Half an hour before serving add milk, half & half and processed cheese. Sprinkle each serving with pepper before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
