10 Must-Try Crockpot Soup Recipes

If you’re a fan of cozy vibes, comforting meals, and super easy lunches and dinners that require very minimal prep and effort, you definitely need to have some crockpot soup recipes in your repertoire! 

The soups I’ve previously shared here on the blog have been hugely popular, and so many readers have found them perfect for batch cooking. Nothing beats having a warming bowlful of goodness ready and waiting for you after a long day, and that’s exactly why I’m sharing more of my favorite crockpot soups that I think you’ll love. 

From classic tomato (so good with a grilled cheese sandwich), to creamy and spicy buffalo chicken, there’s something here for every day of the week. 

Before we jump in, I want to share a quick note on cooking times. I own three different slow cookers that I use to test recipes and also cook my own family meals, and I’ve come to realise that they really can vary wildly in terms of how long they’ll take to cook a meal, even when they appear to be fairly similar models. This can be pretty frustrating when you’re following recipes, and I’m afraid the only way round it is a little trial and error. You do quickly get a feel for your own appliance and realize how you might have to slightly adjust cooking times to create the best possible results. The times stated here are a guideline, though I highly recommend keeping an eye so you can get a feel for how long your model takes! 

1. Crockpot Tomato Soup

Let’s start with a classic! This creamy tomato soup is oh so satisfying, and it’s one of my go-to choices for cold winter nights. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3 days, and they make a super easy lunch. I use canned tomatoes for convenience, and a handful of store cupboard staples. 

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In your crockpot, combine tomatoes, onion, carrot, garlic, tomato puree, and vegetable broth. Stir in basil, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, then blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
3. Stir in heavy cream and serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and black pepper.
