What you’ll need to make Crock Pot Tomato Soup

  • 5-7 Quart Crock Pot
  • Chicken stock– homemade or store bought. Every time I get a rotisserie chicken I make stock from it and freeze it for easy soups like this!
  • Canned crushed tomatoes with basil
  • Tomato paste
  • Seasonings– dried basil, oregano, salt, pepper, sugar
  • Butter– just 2 tablespoons for added richness but you could add more as desired.
  • Heavy cream– I’ve used regular heavy cream and plant based and both turned out delicious.

How to make Crock Pot Tomato Soup

This creamy tomato soup is made in a few easy steps.

  1. Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, tomato paste, and seasonings to the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2 hours.
  2. Add the butter and heavy cream and stir to incorporate.

Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions

  • Substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock to make this vegetarian. I’ve also used plant based heavy cream and it’s delicious! You could leave out the cream completely for a vegan soup.
  • Serve this soup with grilled cheese sandwiches, grilled cheese croutons, homemade croutons, crusty bread, or garlic toast. Also amazing with a side salad such as my favorite 1905 Salad.
  • Add fresh chopped basil or flat leaf Italian parsley at the end for extra flavor.
  • Top with extra cream, a swirl of olive oil, freshly grated parmesan cheese, or parmesan crisps for extra flavor.
  • Use whole peeled tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes. Cook as directed and use an immersion blender at the end for a smooth soup.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for 4-5 days. This makes the easiest tortellini soup! Reheat leftover soup in a pot on the stove, add frozen or refrigerated tortellini, cannellini beans, and spinach and you have a whole new dish!
  • This freezes well too! Let the soup cool completely before adding to a freezer safe container. I absolutely love these Souper Cubes for freezing! The soup will be good in the freezer for 6 months. Just reheat it on the stovetop from frozen.

Leftover Love

Have leftovers? Make a hearty second day soup!

Cook 1/2 pound of sausage in a pan and drain the grease. While that’s cooking boil a bag of tortellini or mini ravioli and drain.

Heat the soup in a pot on the stove over medium heat. Add in the cooked sausage, cooked tortellini, some fresh parmesan cheese and a couple handfuls of spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts and serve with crusty bread or Easy Garlic Knots.

  1. I accidentally added the cream and butter with the rest of the ingredients. Will it curdle?

      1. If I omit the cream, do I omit the butter too?

  2. Do you use salted or unsalted butter?

    I was in a hurry, so made it in a Dutch oven on my stove top. Had to sub a large can of petite diced tomatoes, a small can of tomato paste and a large can of evaporated milk. It was just delicious, but I do plan on grocery shopping tomorrow and purchasing the correct ingredients, so I’m sure it will be even better, and I will use my slow cooker, too. Thanks for a great recipe!

    I absolutely loved this crockpot tomato soup. I did add some fresh basil when adding the butter and cream. My husband had 2 bowls. I do have some left over so I’m trying your next day add TORTELLINI, spinach, and white beans. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. Especially Crocktober ones.

    This was delicious! I have to ask, would there be a big change in taste if I left out the sugar next time? My mom is diabetic.

    1. You can leave it out, the sugar just helps the acidity from the tomatoes. Throw in a carrot instead and will do the job of the sugar. 🙂
