Recipe Tips

  • If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add more milk or cream to the broth mixture.
  • You can also add additional spices or herbs to the broth mixture to suit your taste preferences.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you want to reheat the leftovers, it is best to do so in the microwave or on the stove, as the cheese may become rubbery in the crock pot.
