  • 1.25 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.75 teaspoons salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.75 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. These will be the base flavors of your soup. The more finely chopped they are, the better they will blend into the soup.
  2. In your Crock-Pot, combine the diced onion, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth. Stir well to mix everything together, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Add in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. These spices will infuse the soup with robust flavors as it cooks.
  4. Once everything is in the Crock-Pot, cover it and set your cooker to low heat. Allow the soup to cook for about four hours. This slow cooking method allows the flavors to meld beautifully while making the vegetables incredibly soft.
  5. After the cooking time is complete, it’s blending time! Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend just half of it.
  6. Next, stir in the cubed butter and heavy cream. The butter will melt into the soup, enriching it, while the cream adds that luxurious creaminess we all love.
  7. Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or pepper according to your preference. This step is vital to ensure each bowl is perfectly seasoned.
  8. Once adjusted, ladle the soup into bowls, and if desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves. This adds a lovely touch and enhances the presentation.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy the feeling of comfort that comes with a warm bowl of delicious Crock-Pot Tomato Soup.

Notes

To freeze the soup, let it cool completely, then transfer it to freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to three months.
