Hearty Soup Recipes Slow Cooker

Danielle Daly

There's nothing more comforting than a big, steamy bowl of soup. And for chilly (and busy!) fall days, you'll be happy to know that many of the best soup recipes can be adapted for that oh-so-magical appliance: the slow cooker.

The beauty of Crock-Pots and other slow cookers (like the pretty floral slow cookers from Ree Drummond's Walmart line) is that you can cook ingredients and build flavor without hovering over the stove. Fans love that set-it-and-forget-it quality—and Ree is no exception. "Dream dinner: Throw everything in a slow cooker. Turn on. Go live life," she says. Her favorite Crock-Pot recipes don't involve a lot of prep or extra cooking steps, so you know that her easy slow cooker versions of chicken tortilla soup and broccoli soup won't disappoint. You'll also find Crock-Pot soup recipes to satisfy just about every kind of craving, including creamy mushroom soups, hearty cheeseburger soup, lighter vegetable soups, and flavorful posole. There's even a Crock-Pot French onion soup worth trying! You can't go wrong with any of these tasty options, so pick your favorite and get (slow) cookin'!
