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!!
Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Soup
Ingredients
- 2-28 oz. cans San Marzano tomatoes
- 4 cups fresh tomatoes diced
- 3 large carrots peeled and chopped

- 4 whole cloves of garlic minced
- 1 tsp. sea salt more if desired
- Freshly ground pepper to taste

- 1/2 cup fresh basil
- 1 1/2 cups half and half cream
- Freshly grated Parmesan optional
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients except for the cream and Parmesan into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 5-7 hours. The veggies should be soft enough to puree at this point.

Thanks for sharing this looks and sounds so yummy! I try to not used canned food due to BPA leaching into food and I was wondering what could be used in placed of the canned tomotoes.

You can use all fresh tomatoes for the recipe. I used only 4 cups as that is what I had on hand. I hope you enjoy it!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Tara! What a beautiful fresh tomato soup you’ve shared today. I completely agree that a grilled cheese sandwich is absolutely essential with tomato soup!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you Stacy, they really do go hand in hand!
Arlene @FlourOnMyFace says
I love tomato soup but have never made homemade. Your recipe looks delish!

Thank you so much Arlene!!
Brenda T. @ Meal Planning Magic says
We love a good tomato soup—it’s a favorite comfort food on Sunday evenings for us. And I love the idea of being able to make this in the slowcooker (my recipe is not for the slowcooker). Can’t wait to give this a try!
Lea Ann (Cooking On The Ranch) says
I had an amazing crop of tomatoes also this year. And I still have about 15 of them on the counter, so thanks for this recipe. I’ve never made tomato soup in the crockpot!. Your recipe calls for both fresh and canned. Is that right or is it fresh OR canned? Nice cooking with you for #SS
Noshing with the Nolands says
High Lea Ann, I used fresh because I had them but you can use all fresh or all canned. Either way works. Thanks!!
Liz says
We’ve been buying tomato soup from Whole Foods as my daughter likes it better than any I’ve made so far :/ SO glad to have your yummy recipe to try…it sounds perfect!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Liz!
Renee says
My husband likes non-creamy tomato soup and I’m the opposite. I think I’ll make this and divide it in half so I can put cream in it for me. This would be so great with a grilled cheese sandwich too.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Renee, enjoy your soup how you like it!!
Stacy says
Happy Thanksgiving, Tara! What a beautiful fresh tomato soup you’ve shared today. I completely agree that a grilled cheese sandwich is absolutely essential with tomato soup!
The Ninja Baker says
Happy Thanksgiving, Tara! How wonderful that your daughter likes healthy food =) Of course, even the pickiest eater I imagine would down this luscious looking tomato soup. P.s. Thanks for the tip on the San Marzano tomatoes =)
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you so much Kim, I love those San Marzano tomatoes!!
