A comforting and easy slow-cooker tomato basil soup made from canned tomato soup, fresh basil, and simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for cozy nights and quick prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (about 10.75 oz / 305 g) condensed tomato soup
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz / 480 ml) vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 120 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half (optional, use coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Pour the canned tomato soup into the crockpot. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, vegetable broth, and stir to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional sugar.
  3. Set the crockpot on low and cook uncovered or with the lid slightly ajar for 3-4 hours, stirring gently every hour.
  4. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and the chopped fresh basil. Let cook on low for another 10 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with reserved basil leaves or a swirl of cream.

Notes

Sautéing onion and garlic before adding to the crockpot deepens flavor. Use fresh basil for best taste. Add sugar to balance acidity if needed. Use low setting on crockpot for best flavor. Add cream near the end to avoid curdling. If soup thickens too much, add broth or water to loosen.
