This easy Crock-Pot Express Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup takes only 10 minutes to cook. Not only is it delicious but it is super quick to whip up for dinner or lunch!
Pressure Cooker Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup
My family really loves a good broccoli cheese soup for dinner or lunch. The rich, creamy and cheesy soup with chunks of broccoli is just so comforting!
I usually serve this soup with some rolls so we can dip our bread into the cheesy soup. OR the weird thing some of us also do…we rip our bread or rolls into chunks and mix those chunks into our bowl of soup and eat it that way. Is that a “my family is weird” thing to do or do other people do that too?
Now we have made several versions of cheesy broccoli soup in our regular slow cookers (here, here and here) this Crock-Pot Express version is just super quick to make. It literally takes just 10 minutes cooking time in the pressure cooker to make this yummy soup. Of course there is about 15 to 20 minutes to allow the electric pressure cooker to come to pressure. But still, that is way faster than the hours and hours needed to cook in the slow cooker. Making this recipe perfect for busy days!
For this recipe I used frozen broccoli because I almost always have a big bag of it in my freezer. But fresh broccoli will work too!
So make this recipe today and enjoy a big comforting bowl of cheesy broccoli soup!

Nutrition
The broccoli cheddar soup sounds delish but…where in the world do the sugar grams come from? I realize 1/4 cup flour has carbs but there is no sugar added to the recipe and broccoli is a low-carb veggie. Just checking to make sure the numbers are correct. Thanks!
Great questions Sandra, playing with the ingredients in our nutrition calculator it looks like the sugar is mostly coming from the heavy whipping cream.
How long / setting should I use if I’m using a regular crockpot?
