Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes. Brown the beef separately, then add everything (except milk and cheese) to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6 hours. Add cheese and milk in the last 30 mins.

Can I use chicken broth instead of beef?

Technically yes—but beef broth gives it the depth and savory edge that truly makes this soup sing.

Yes—no flour or thickeners. But double-check the broth and cheese ingredients for hidden gluten.
