Looking for the easiest soup recipe ever? You have to make this Slow Cooker Tomato & Chilli Soup.
Can you make tomato soup in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Making tomato soup in a slow cooker is one of the easiest ways to enjoy a rich, flavour-packed bowl of soup with minimal effort. Just add all your ingredients to the slow cooker and let it simmer low and slow… perfect for busy days.
How long does tomato soup take in the slow cooker?
This slow cooker tomato soup takes around 4 hours on high or 6–7 hours on low. It’s a “throw and go” recipe – just set it and forget it.
Do I need to roast the tomatoes first?
Nope! There’s no need to roast anything beforehand. The beauty of this recipe is that you can throw everything straight into your slow cooker. The tomatoes cook down slowly, intensifying their natural sweetness.
Can I make this soup spicy?
This slow cooker tomato and chilli soup has a gentle heat, but you can easily adjust the spice level by adding more or less chilli to suit your taste.
Is this tomato soup recipe healthy?
Definitely. This soup is made from wholesome, simple ingredients—just tomatoes, chillies, garlic, onion, and veggie stock. It’s naturally low in calories and full of flavour, making it a perfect healthy lunch option.
Can I blend the soup for a smooth texture?
Yes, once the soup has cooked, simply use a stick blender straight in the slow cooker or transfer to a blender for a silky smooth finish. You can also leave it slightly chunky if you prefer a rustic texture.
Can I freeze slow cooker tomato soup?
Absolutely. This soup is ideal for batch cooking. Let it cool completely, portion it out into airtight containers, and freeze for up to 3 months. Just defrost and reheat when needed.
What should I serve with tomato and chilli soup?
A crusty loaf of bread, grilled cheese sandwich, or a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top pairs perfectly. It also goes well with a simple green salad if you’re keeping things light.
Can I use fresh or tinned tomatoes?
You can use either, but tinned chopped tomatoes are the easiest and most convenient option for this slow cooker soup. They still pack in great flavour and help make this recipe ultra fuss-free.
Can I make this tomato soup dairy-free or vegan?
Yes. This recipe is naturally vegan and dairy-free as long as you don’t add cream or cheese when serving. It’s made entirely from vegetables and veggie stock.
