Prep Time

This soup recipe is incredibly easy to make and requires minimal preparation time. All you need to do is chop the onion, garlic, and tomatoes. This should take no more than 10 minutes. After that, it's a simple matter of adding the ingredients to the slow cooker and letting the magic happen!

Cook Time

This soup is a great recipe to prepare ahead of time and let it cook while you're gone. It will take about 4-6 hours to fully cook in the slow cooker, depending on the size of the pot and the temperature of the heat. You can also cook it on the stove top for about 45 minutes, if you're in a rush.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, oregano, and basil. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the tomatoes are soft and the soup is thickened.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the fresh parsley, if desired.
  5. Serve the soup hot, with a dollop of sour cream or croutons, if desired.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Crock pot
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Notes

This soup can be easily customized to your tastes. Feel free to add any additional vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers. You can also add other herbs, such as thyme or rosemary. If you like your soup on the thicker side, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a few tablespoons of cold water. If you want to add a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. For a creamier soup, add a cup of heavy cream at the end of cooking.
