Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 lb fresh or frozen broccoli florets
    1 14 oz can vegetable broth
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 finely chopped yellow onion
    2 cloves finely chopped garlic
    1 tablespoon margarine
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup part skim mozzarella
    1 cup half-and-half

Directions

Dump it all (minus the cheese and half-and-half) in the crock pot, mix it up and cook on low for 4 hours. Add in the dairy items in the last 20 minutes.

You can also cook in on the stove by bringing it all (minus half-and-half and cheese) to a boil, adding in the dairy and simmering it for 20 - 30 mins, or until the broccoli and onions are cooked through. For quicker simmer time, saute the onions and broccoli in the margarine before adding in anything else.
