Ingredients

1 small yellow onion chopped
1 pound chopped broccoli crowns
15 ounce can cannellini beans rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 ½ cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 ½ cups loosely packed fresh spinach*
6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese white or yellow, divided
¼ cup half and half**

Instructions

Place onion, broccoli, cannellini beans, garlic, salt, pepper, and broth in slow cooker. (I use this 5 quart slow cooker.)
Cook on low setting for about 5-6 hours, or on high setting for about 3 hours, until broccoli is tender.
Add spinach and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Transfer soup to a countertop blender in batches and puree until smooth. Return soup to the slow cooker. Stir in 4 ounces of the shredded cheddar and the half and half. Spoon soup into bowls, top with remaining shredded cheddar and serve.
