The fragrant rosemary makes this chowder especially flavorsome. Prepared in a crock-pot, this plant-based chowder is simple and delicious.
Peel and chop potatoes and onion. Place in crock-pot with vegetable broth.
Using a mortar and pestle, crush the dried rosemary to bring out the flavor. Add to potatoes and broth in the crock-pot.
Add broccoli spears and remaining ingredients (except salt and pepper). Stir well.
Cook on low for 6 hours or until potatoes are fully cooked.
Using either a potato masher or immersion blender, blend and mash the potatoes and broccoli.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in instant mashed potato flakes to thicken further, if desired.
