Slow cooker soups are my go-to dinner option at least one night a week. There are so many different varieties that we never get bored. I often make different variations of chicken soup in the slow cooker, but sometimes I switch things up with a hearty beef stew or silky soup.

The great thing about slow cooker soups is that you can often freeze the leftovers. I typically make a double batch just so I have some extra to put in the freezer! Chili, chicken soup and stews make great candidates for the freezer.

I love these recipes because simmering these soups for hours allows the flavors to become rich and memorable. There is nothing better than lifting up that lid to see the steam waft up and smell your fantastic meal.

It’s so straightforward to add some bread, crackers or unfussy side dishes to complete your dinner.

We enjoy a vast variety of slow cooker soup recipes so I want to share them with you. Here is a list of what I consider the top 20 slow cooker soup recipes!
