The day we cooked this in the house it was freezing in Alberta. Our indoor Nest thermostat said -34 outside. We also had a windchill ontop of that. It was a great day for soup and homemade bread!

3CUPS broccoli, fresh or frozen
3CUPS potatoes, skin on or off
1 large or 2 small diced onions
1-3 cloves of garlic, we use 5-6 cloves love our garlic
2 sliced celery stalks
Chicken stock 3CUPS is best, water & bouillon is fine.
Cover remainder with water.
Salt, pepper

Pour everything in. I cook this on the stove on a low-med heat uncovered, should be steaming. Stirring frequently. And adding water when needed. This can be done in your Crockpot but I much prefer them done on stove. Each time bottom of pan starts to get some color add some water, to remove bits and stir.
