Cut 4 cups broccoli into small bite-size pieces and place the broccoli in the crock pot with 2 tablespoons butter, ½ cup onion diced, ½ cup celery diced small, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups chicken broth and ¼ cup corn starch until the corn starch is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture into the crock pot and stir well.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Stir in 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Cover the crock pot again and cook on high for about 30 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is creamy.
Stir thoroughly right before serving and enjoy!
