    Crock pot tomato soup is rustic, delicious, and so easy. Made completely from scratch in the crock pot, this soup is full of classic flavor, but it's not full of a lot of work!

    When it comes to classic comfort, tomato soup is the undisputed kind of soups. I love to serve this soup with my slow cooker focaccia bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic meal. This bread also goes well with my crock pot lasagna soup.

    How to Make Crock Pot Tomato Soup

    1: Add all the ingredients except the heavy cream and cornstarch to the crock pot.

    2: Cook until the tomatoes begin to break down.

    3: Remove the bay leaves and puree the soup.

    4: Add a slurry of cornstarch and water along with heavy cream to the soup and continue to cook until thickened.

    Hint

    An immersion blender makes pureeing the soup so much easier than using a blender.

    Storage

    Refrigerate your soup as soon as it's cool for maximum freshness and safety. To reheat the soup, pour it into a saucepan and cook on medium-low until heated through.

    Refrigerator: Store for up to 5 days in an air-tight container.

    Freezer: Store for up to 3 months in an air-tight, freezer-safe container. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

    What to Serve with Your Soup

    Pair this soup with a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic meal. You can also pair it with other classic mains for a heartier meal.

    • Stuffed Peppers
    • Brisket
    • Crock Pot Sausage Potatoes and Green Beans

    Tips

    • If you prefer a smoother texture, thoroughly puree the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender before adding the cornstarch slurry and heavy cream.
    • The soup will be very hot once cooked. If you use a blender, put a towel over the lid while blending to prevent it from splashing.
    • To prevent the soup from becoming too thin or watery, start with a smaller amount of chicken broth and add more as needed throughout the cooking process.
    • For an extra burst of flavor, add a can of fire-roasted tomatoes to the whole peeled tomatoes.
    • Whisk the cornstarch thoroughly into the water before adding it to the soup to prevent lumps from forming and ensure a smooth and even consistency in the finished product.

    FAQ

    Are canned tomatoes better for soup?

    Canned tomatoes are a great option for soup because they have already been cooked and peeled, which cuts down on the cooking time.

    How do I thicken tomato soup?

    To thicken tomato soup, combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup while cooking and mix until fully incorporated. You can also add heavy cream to create a richer texture and flavor.

    How do you keep tomato soup from curdling when adding milk?

    When adding milk to tomato soup, cook the soup first and then add the milk slowly while whisking constantly. This will help prevent curdling and create a smooth texture.
