This recipe for slow cooker tomato soup is so easy and flavorful. Perfect to throw in the slow cooker on a busy day, it’s a simple combination of tomatoes and chicken broth. I always find these simple recipes to be my favorites. Slow cooker tomato soup is perfect with a gilled cheese sandwich for a quick and easy dinner.
Last year we had so many tomatoes from our little backyard garden that I made roasted tomato soup several times. This year, our garden is not faring as well and we have yet to harvest more than a few. So I used canned whole tomatoes in this recipe, which work perfectly. Canned tomatoes have the added bonus of tasting great all year long, so this slow cooker tomato soup can be a warm and cozy meal in the cooler months.
This soup smells so good simmering away in the slow cooker. Â You are going to be thrilled to come home to this recipe!
- 1 quart of low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 28 oz cans of whole peeled tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1/2 a medium onion roughly chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic peeled
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream - optional
-
Add chicken broth, tomatoes, butter, onions and garlic to slow cooker.
-
Cook on high for about 5 hours, or on low 7-8 hours.
-
Onions will be soft and translucent when ready.
-
Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
-
Add cream and stir to combine.
-
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
You can also use a regular blender. Just blend hot soup in small batches. Vent blender so steam can escape and keep dish towel over vent to stop splatters.

This is my go-to recipe for tomato soup. However after having someone else make it because I was at work I realized YOU NEED TO ADD HERBS!!!!!!! The recipe by itself calls for no other herbs or spices other than salt/pepper, but I add at least 1tsp of basil and 1tsp of oregano when I start it up, and more to taste towards the end. Without it I found the recipe tasting very much like condensed tomato soup, however with the spices theres a wonderful depth and I could eat it all day.
