Slow Cooker Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup

This Slow Cooker Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup is a simple homemade tomato soup that is simple to make right in your crockpot. It’s bursting with rich, creamy, tomato flavor!

It’s officially soup season which is good and bad. Good because I love soup. Bad because that means it’s cold outside.

Nothing tastes better on a cold, wintry night.  Mmmm, I love soup, especially with homemade bread or breadsticks.  So why is it we only usually eat soup in the winter?  We eat hot meals all summer long, so tell me why we don’t make soup too?  Anyone?  Anyone?  (thought I’d throw a little Ferris Bueller in there).

This slow cooker creamy roasted tomato soup is fabulous!  It’s a simple combination of ingredients thrown into your slow cooker that work their magic while cooking.  The flavors meld together and then with fresh basil and cream added as the finishing touch . . . .it’s perfection! The fire roasted tomatoes give this soup a fabulous smoky flavor that is so delicious.

If you ask me, one can never have too many soup recipes so you absolutely need to add this to your repertoire of soup recipes.
