27 Slow-Cooker Soup Recipes For Automatic Coziness (2024)

27 Slow-Cooker Soup Recipes For Automatic Coziness (1)

We don't have the science to back this up, but we (and our stomachs) just know it's true:

soup always tastes better when someone else makes it. And while we don't all have personal chefs (or sweet grandmas) around to whip up a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup or chicken pozole for us whenever we want, our slow-cookers and Crockpots are capable of making some that are just as good. With just a tiny bit of prep (we're talking 10-15 minutes here), your slow-cooker will basically do all the rest for you. These 27 soup recipes will 100% convince you to give your slow-cooker all the counter real estate it requires this soup season!

A really good soup is one of those things you can't rush. Low and slow is truly the name of the game, so we love busting out our slow-cookers to really make some magic happen (especially when we have a cold/it's windy out/we just really want chicken tortilla soup). The steady heat involved in slow-cooking also helps to perfectly cook slightly intimidating cuts of meat like beefchuck (and chicken in general). Thankfully, our recipes slow-cooker red wine beef stew, chicken tortilla soup, and creamy gnocchi soup are so foolproof, they'll make you feel like a real deal chef (and make your kitchen smell a-maz-ing).

A good, hearty white bean soup is one of our favorite ways to warm up in the colder months. (We're also big fans of Escarole White Bean Soup.)
