What is the best cheese to melt in soup?

We prefer to shred our own cheese. We find that the store bought shredded cheese is a lot drier and doesn’t melt easily or blend very well. We recommend a mild or sharp cheddar cheese for this broccoli and cheese soup recipe.

How do you thicken broccoli and cheese soup?

If you’d like a thicker soup, we recommend:

• mixing equal parts of melted butter and flour to form a paste before adding into the slow cooker.
• you can mix a equal parts of cornstarch with flour or chicken broth in a bowl, then pour into the cheese and broccoli soup mixture.
• adding more cheese will also help to thicken the soup.
