Sunday Supper, Slow Cooker Broccoli Asiago Soup
It has been unseasonably cold here this past week,
as it has been in many places in the US,
perfect weather for a steaming bowl of hearty soup!
After making Easy Cheesy Pulled Pork Enchiladas with leftover pulled pork
there was still a little pulled pork left,
Perfect for making little pork buns to pair with
this slow cooker Broccoli and Asiago Soup
With a bag of broccoli florets, jarred minced garlic,
grated Asiago cheese and diced onion
This soup comes together in minutes
{this recipe also calls for chicken broth, not pictured}
Spray or line your slow cooker
and add the broccoli, onions and garlic
Stir it around to mix
and then add the cream cheese, sprinkle with Italian seasoning
and pour in the broth
Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 -4 hours
Add the Velvetta and evaporated milk
Replace cover and continue to cook for 30 minutes to melt Velveeta
then use an immersion blender to puree the soup
Add the Asiago cheese, replace the cover
and cook for 15-30 more minutes to melt cheese
Garnish with grated cheddar cheese and serve
I made little BBQ pork buns to go with the soup
I cut the baked Cornbread Swirls in half,
filled them with pulled pork drizzled with BBQ sauce
and wrapped them in foil heated them in the oven

Asiago cheese made me click open the email ~ love Asiago. Your soup looks delicious! Pinning.
Thank you Allyson, I love Asiago too 🙂
Omg What a wonderful combination of flavors and a bonus for being in the slow cooker.
My favorite way to eat broccoli!
I could use some warmth this week too. Your soup looks delicious!
Nothing better than getting cozy with a bowl of soup!
A delicious soup on a cold evening is the perfect comfort food. It looks so delicious! Have a wonderful week, Jenna!
I’m looking forward to the warmer temps this week!
This looks comforting and tasty! Perfect for cold temps! Hope it warms up for you.
Thank you Nancy, it is supposed to warm up this week 👏
Your soup looks so easy, creamy, and comforting, especially with those little pork cornbread sliders. We sure have been having soup weather here in Texas!
Thanks Kitty, our temps are supposed to be warmer this week, thank goodness!
I could use a good bowl of soup right now. This looks like a tasty one!
Thank you Jeanie, it is soup season for sure!
Oh, that soup looks so good Jenna! I love soup and cheese is my favorite food, bar none. And you can make it in the slow cooker too which is a bonus. I haven’t had Velveeta cheese in ages – does it still taste the same? Guess I’ll have to try the recipe and find out for myself lol! We’ve had a cold snap here and way more snow that usual – hope your temps warm up down there. Happy Monday to you!
Thank you Kim! I know a lot of .people aren’t fans of Velveeta, but it melts like a dream and adds such lovely creaminess…you could always sub grated cheddar and a dash of cream, but I love to use Velveeta!
Asiago cheese lover – must make this one!
I hope you enjoy!
