Slow Cooker Creamy Potato, Cabbage, Broccoli and Cheese Soup image

I wanted something a little healthier than regular potato soup. This has some extra veggies and fewer processed ingredients and is wonderful on a cold day. I had to guess on the cooking time as I was home for this and ended up cooking on high because I couldn't wait to eat it.

Time 6h30m

Yield 5 1/2 quarts, 11 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery, 2 stalks
12 ounces frozen broccoli florets
8 medium potatoes, cubed golden potato
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or more)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (or more)
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water (more or less)
1 small cabbage, chopped
8 ounces neufchatel cheese (cream cheese)
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (not the taco seasoning type, or cheddar if you like)
tony chachere's original creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Place everything except cabbage and cheese in a 6 quart crockpot.
  • Add as much cabbage as will fit and still leave about an inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.
  • Add water to almost cover the ingredients (about 2 cups when I made it).
  • Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
  • add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
  • This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.
