Slow Cooker Classic Tomato Soup
Description
This classic tomato soup recipe starts by layering canned diced tomatoes, minced yellow onion, diced carrots, vegetable broth, and dried herbs including thyme and oregano into a slow cooker. Garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and a bay leaf add seasoning. Butter adds richness, and half and half or whole milk provides creaminess at the end. Cooking on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours allows the flavors to meld and soften the vegetables. Half of the hot soup is pureed in a blender until smooth, then combined back with the remaining soup for a balanced texture. An immersion blender can be used directly in the slow cooker as an alternative. The soup can be served immediately or kept warm until ready to eat, offering a comforting, lightly creamy tomato soup with herbal undertones and tender vegetable bits. This preparation is straightforward, making it easy to prepare in advance or for casual meals.
