Does anyone know any good slow cooker soup recipes?

Question

I just got one for Christmas that I'm dying to use but I don't have any good recipes!

Answer 1

Almost any recipe you have for soup can be made in a crockpot. It's just a slower, moister cooking form, which is great for stews, where the meat will cook slowly and absorb the flavors of the liquid it's in. It's really great for lean and cheap cuts of meat such as stew meat, because it is such a low, slow cooking process.
A few suggestions first though. If a recipe calls for hamburger or meat, I would brown the hamburger completely, and brown the meat on all sides before placing in crockpot. This just adds extra flavor that it won't get in the crockpot when added raw. Also, if a recipe calls for rice or noodles, cook them seperately and add into the soup in the last half hour of cooking time. Hope these recipes help. Enjoy!

Answer 2

Any soup is good for slow cooking.

This is one though.

A variety of edible mushrooms
Sliced onion
Celery sliced
Garlic sliced
mixed herbs
Mushroom ketchup or soya sauce but the former is the better.
Veg, beef, or chicken stock or cubes
Water if necessary.

First turn you slow cooker on to high for about 20 minutes to warm up.
Meanwhile slice all the ingredients that need doing - put the celery in the bottom and then layer up.

Depending how thick or thin you want the soup I would give less fluid than you might think because all the veg are all going to release more intense flavours and fluids - it is always a sup rise to me when I come back and find a lot of cooking liquor, so I now follow my instincts and then half it !! Lol! So, say a couple of cups or a bit more for a thinner soup.

When you are ready to go out and ignore the slow cooker for the day turn it to slow and resist any temptation to open the lid and look or taste or smell. This will cool down the recipe too much.

When you get back turn it into a large clean sauce pan to cool slightly but do not turn off slow cooker. Put through blender and then back into the slow cooker to keep warm - add cream or elmlea if desired. Enjoy!!!! If you have an auto setting this will keep it at a safe heat but without cooking for any longer.

Answer 3

Potato Leek Soup
2 lbs potatoes (5-6 med), peeled and cut into 3/4" cubes
3 TB all-purp flour
5 cups chicken broth
2 med leeks (white and tender green), rinsed well and chopped
6 TB chopped fresh dill or 2 1/2 TB dried
1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked ham
3 4 cup heavy cream

Place the potatoes in a 4-quart electric slow cooker. Sprinkle on the flour and toss well. Add the chicken broth, mixing well. Stir in the leeks and 3 TB of the fresh dill or 1 1/2 TB of the dried dill.

Cover and cook on the low heat setting 8 to 8 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 to 2 cups of the potatoes and leeks with a little of the soup liquid and return to the soup remaining in the slow cooker. Stir in the ham, cream and remaining 3 TB fresh dill or 1 TB dried dill. Cover and heat 5 to 10 minutes longer.

Answer 4

Boil 3-4 potatoes and then cut them into smaller pieces once they are cooked abit. Also brown some ground sausage. In the crock pot put a few small cans of condensensed potato soup, some spinach without the stems and a small carton of cream. Add the potatoes and the sausage and let it cook for like 6 hours. It is delicious, just ask my husband. There are also some good recipies for beef stew online! Bon Apatite.
