Slow Cooker Classic Tomato Soup a creamy, rich, and vibrant soup. A traditional classic made easy in the crock pot!
I love meals that are made in the slow cooker.

So when I make a recipe the entire family devours in one sitting, I know I have a keeper.

I made this soup with the intention of having leftovers. I thought for sure there would be enough for two meals and considering that my hubby isn’t a big tomato soup fan I knew I would have enough for the next night. Well, I was so wrong. Not only did my kids all have seconds, but my hubby also had thirds! Everyone raved about this. In fact, we love it so much it has become a constant in our meal rotation.
I love it when meals like this surprise me and the family. What are some meals that you weren’t sure would be a hit and they were? I would love to hear!
While there are so many things that can create drama or a sense of busyness in our lives it is still so important to sit down together every night and enjoy a meal together. Slow cooker meals make it that easy and possible. So buy a loaf of bread to dip in this Slow Cooker Classic Tomato Soup or make a grilled cheese, either way, this will be devoured in one sitting. Enjoy!

Excellent so easy and so simple to put together thank you!! Ps I just blended the soup right in the crock pot with my hand held mixer, took one minute.
Real Housemoms JK says
That is perfect Nishie! Thanks so much!
Pam says
Do you really have to pull out the blender
Real Housemoms JK says
Hello Pam! The blender makes the soup smoother. I have also used an immersion blender.
Beejoy Sawyer says
in regard to making it a paleo recipe: what do i substitute for the butter and for the milk?
in regard to substituting canned tomatoes with fresh tomatoes how many actual cups of tomatoes does this call for.??
Aubrey Cota says
In all honesty, this soup wasn’t made with the intentions of following paleo ingredients. I would have to suggest using the ingredients provided in the recipe card as this is a nice low-calorie option. If you would prefer to make it paleo it may be a good idea to look for a recipe that is more structured toward that nutritional value. I apologize I couldn’t be of any help, I just wouldn’t want to steer you in the wrong direction since we are not certified nutritionists here.
Michelle says
Should I mix the ingredients after I place them in the crockpot?
Aubrey Cota says
Yes, you should.
Doug says
Are you supposed to drain the tomatoes first or not?
Aubrey Cota says
I wouldn’t, it helps keep the classic tomato flavor. Just be mindful of the size of your slow cooker and if it feels like it’s going to spill over that scoop it out little by little.
Jenn says
Does this freeze well?
Aubrey Cota says
Yes just be sure to use a good air tight container and you should have no problems.
