Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup celery (chopped; about 2 large sticks)
  • 1/2 yellow onion (diced, a medium sized onion)
  • 4 cups broccoli (fresh, chopped finely, about 1 1/2 heads broccoli)
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth (organic – Use the code COOKINGKATIELADY for 20% off at Kettle & Fire! The best broth ever.)
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 4 cups cheddar cheese (freshly grated, not pre grated; Pre-shredded cheese had something called cellulose in it, and it will not melt properly & be starchy. I highly recommend using sharp cheddar for a more pronounced taste.)
  • 1 1/4 cup cottage cheese (1%, small curd, blended smooth)
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together the corn starch & chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a large crock pot, add the celery, onion, broccoli, garlic, seasonings, and broth mixture. Mix well. Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  3. 3
    Once the time is almost up, freshly grate your cheddar cheese and blend your cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. 4
    After the cooking time, stir in the blended cottage cheese and the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover, and cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes. Immediately dig in and enjoy!
