Crock pot broccoli cheese soup

I am loving my crock pot right now and having fun experimenting with new recipes.  Tonight was my first attempt at a soup, and it was delicious.  Granted, the texture was a little funny (I should have stirred it one more time in the middle), but I got over that quickly once I tasted it!  This was the most filling soup I think I have ever eaten, and I can't wait for the leftovers!

My one regret was that I didn't use a crock pot liner when I thought about it.  The clean-up wasn't too dreadful after letting the gooey-cheesiness soak for awhile.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups milk
• 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
• 3 cups fresh chopped broccoli

Directions:

Saute onion and green pepper in butter.

Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low 3-4 hours, stirring once or twice.

**You can also use frozen broccoli (10 oz bag, chopped), and then I would reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cups.
