Slow-Cooker Soup Recipes FAQ
What Crockpot soup recipes can you make in a slow cooker?
Tortilla, potato and chicken noodle soups are just a few types of soups that can be made in the slow cooker. Their durable ingredients and bold seasoning blends have the heft to stand up to long periods of heat. Adjust your appliance settings based on the recipe and ingredients for the best results.
Can you put stovetop soup recipes in a slow cooker?
Yes, many stovetop recipes can be converted for the slow cooker by adjusting the cook time and liquid ratios. One hour of simmering on the stove roughly translates to 8 to 10 hours on low or four to six hours on high.
What are the healthiest slow-cooker soups?
Lentil soup, vegetable soups and recipes with rich broths are the best options when it comes to your health. These recipes aren’t just filling, they’re chock-full of nutrients that support a satisfying meal experience. Sprinkle chia or flaxseeds over your favorite soup for an extra (and easy) boost of fiber.
