Best Crock Pot Soup Recipes

Vanessa M.:  This tasty broccoli and cheese soup is made with lots of fresh veggies and cheddar cheese. The best part is that your crock pot does (almost) all the work! After cooking, use an immersion blender or food processor to puree your soup to give it a restaurant quality texture. From Well Plated by Erin

Shila:  Don't be fooled by the grocery store canned version, this Creamy Mushroom Soup is made-from-scratch and is one of the best soup recipes for the Crock Pot. It starts off by sautéing your favorite woodsy ingredients on the stove (a secret to getting the moisture out of mushrooms and onions). Then, everything is thrown together in the slow cooker for 4-8 hours along with flavored vegetable broth. Finish it off by combing a bit of cornstarch, heavy cream and sour cream to thicken-up the bite. This soup becomes decadent and rich! From The Salty Pot

Tip: I like to add in a bit of wild rice at the end. Serve with good bread.

Shila:  Italian Wedding Soup is one the best slow cooker soup recipes as the flavors require patience and time to truly "marry" together.

What sets this soup apart from any other is the traditional use the irresistible tiny round balls of pasta called acini de pepe. Though, any small pasta can be a fine substitute. Some prep time is needed in order to hand-roll and sear a set of homemade bite-sized meatballs - these are the stars of the show! This soup recipe can work as a side, or alone a full dinner for the family. From Garnished With Lemon

Shila:  Thickened beef broth with Worcestershire sauce and caramelized onions are featured in French onion soup and it's one of those easy crock pot soup recipes that make impressive lunches or side dishes, too. Enjoy this is traditionally served with a hardy slice of mozzarella-melted French bread right on top. From Betty Crocker

Shila:  This creamy bisque is one of the most delightful crock pot soup recipes as the lobster tails themselves (meat removed, reserved for later) are slow cooked in a hot pot of minced garlic, dill, tomatoes, shallots, and Old Bay seasoned broth. After these flavors marry for hours, the tails are removed and replaced with heavy cream, along with the lobster meat which only needs about 45 minutes to heat through. Enjoy easy fine dining courtesy of your countertop Crock Pot! From Key Ingredient

Shila:  Slow Cooker Tomato Ravioli Soup uses up store-bought frozen ravioli as its star ingredient, canned tomato paste, canned tomato soup, and canned chicken broth, along with pinches of simple spices making it one of the best soup recipes for the crockpot to use on busy nights as most ingredients are likely to be already found in your pantry or fridge! This recipe creates a thin, yet creamy stock for the ravioli to be presented in. From Side Tracked Sarah

Shila:  Besides crisping-up delicious bacon on the stove, everything else about this crock pot soup recipe requires easily throwing all ingredients into one brew (Yukon potatoes, canned clams, onions, seasoning) and slow cooking it until tender. To thicken the base, cream and cornstarch are whisked-in at the end. Top it off with more crispy bacon and enjoy an East coast delicacy. Don't forget the oyster crackers! From Dinner Then Dessert

Shila:  This is one those amazing chicken crock pot recipes that can be made by truly setting-and-forgetting it. All of your favorite chicken soup ingredients (celery, carrots, thyme, rosemary, etc.) as well as the whole chicken are thrown together in the slow cooker, covered, and simmered for about 4 hours until tender.

As opposed to adding noodles, rice is a great addition to this chicken soup. I like how easy it is for my kids to slurp it down without chewing! From Favorite Family Recipes

Kelly R:  I love this crockpot chicken noodle soup recipe because it's incredibly easy and uses simple kid-friendly ingredients, but tastes so fresh and wonderful compared to packaged soup. I prefer to saute the onions for a few minutes until they're translucent before adding to the crockpot, rather than just throwing them in raw. From Weelicious

Kelly R:  I've made a lot of slow cooker tomato soup recipes that have been sort of underwhelming or needed a lot of tweaking, but this one is amazing! A nice deep and complex flavor, wonderful texture, and perfect for dunking. We love enjoying the leftovers over the next couple of days, too. From 365 Days of Slow + Pressure Cooking
