Tomato soup is an absolute classic, and what could be better than an easy homemade version?? I grew up on the Campbell’s can, but I love that this version doesn’t have any chemicals – just basic ingredients and a set-it-and-forget-it process!
If you follow this blog regularly you know how much I love my slow cooker: it was our saving grace when I was working a ton and Logan was in law school. We used it weekly, and even now it’s my favorite way to feed a crowd effortlessly. So a great slow cooker tomato soup recipe is perfect for us!
I LOVE slow cooker recipes that are as simple as dumping all the ingredients in.
Cook for five hours, then blend! My immersion blender is one of my favorite cooking tools – makes soups so easy.
Blend and serve! It’s delicious, classic, and warms you inside out.
Even better with a melty grilled cheese!
This soup is perfect for a cold day, and even better with a grilled cheese sandwich. If you skip the sandwich, maybe add a slice of good bread like this one to dip in; it’s heavenly. I based this recipe on one I found here, with my own adjustments.
