It is Thanksgiving weekend up here in Canada but I have not done a #SundaySupper for a while. I adore our slow cooker and use it all year round but more so in the fall and winter. Today I have for you Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Soup. If you are followers of Noshing With The Nolands you will know we love our soup. Put a bowl of homemade soup in front of our daughter and she will gobble it down always asking for more. For the most part, soups are very healthy. This soup is full of vegetables but it does have some cream in it. You can always substitute milk, homo or 2% would work great too!
We had an amazing crop of tomatoes this year so I used 4 cups of fresh but you can just add one more can of tomatoes if you don’t have fresh ones. I am in love with the San Marzano tomatoes right now that are packed in a tomato puree. Besides my own canned tomatoes, they are my favorite.
Rich, creamy, and full of veggies and flavor. I love a great tomato soup. Add a grilled cheese to this and I am in heaven!!

Great soup I enjoyed it sooo much… Mine didn’t look nearly as nice because it looks like my milk curdled… It tastes great but looks very strange… I thought I followed directions but will see how the next batch turns out …
Tara Noland says
Hmmm, never had the milk curdle, not sure what happened there. I am glad you enjoyed it!
