20 Crockpot Soup Recipes I Could Happily Eat On Repeat!

These crockpot soup recipes are some of my favorite ways to get a hearty dinner on the table without spending the evening at the stove. From creamy chicken soups to beef stew and thick, hearty chili, there’s plenty here to keep your slow cooker busy.

I am completely obsessed with soup. The minute the weather shifts even a little bit, there’s a very good chance that’s what we’re having for dinner. Give me a big bowl, some crusty bread, and enough leftovers for lunch, and I’m very happy.

And while I love a pot simmering on the stove, the Crockpot makes soup nights especially easy. Some of these recipes need a little prep up front, while others are as simple as opening a few cans and adding everything to the slow cooker.

I pulled together my favorite slow cooker soups, stews, and chilis below, including creamy, cheesy options, veggie-packed bowls, and several no-chopping dinners I turn to on especially busy days.

Tips for the best crockpot soup recipes

  • Check the prep first: Some recipes go straight into the slow cooker, while others call for browning meat or sautéing vegetables first.
  • Keep the lid on: Lifting it repeatedly releases heat and can slow down cooking.
  • Time the add-ins: Follow each recipe’s timing for cream, cheese, pasta, rice, and tortellini to get the best texture.
  • Taste before serving: A little salt, pepper, lime juice, or fresh herbs can make a big difference.
  • Plan for leftovers: For soups that allow it, cook pasta separately and add it to individual bowls so it doesn’t soak up the broth in storage.
  • Bring on the toppings: Crispy bacon, tortilla strips, shredded cheese, avocado, and croutons add so much to a simple bowl of soup.
