I feel like even if you aren't a fan of tomatoes in general, you can still love a comforting bowl of creamy tomato soup. There's nothing quite like it.
I prepared this soup on a drizzly, cold day and we served it with some sliced French bread toasted with butter, garlic, and Parmesan. Boy did it hit the spot!
Most of the cook time for this slow cooker tomato soup is hands off, but it's totally worth it to take the time to properly cook the onions and garlic before adding everything to your slow cooker. The flavors are amazing!
This is a perfect fix-it-and-forget-it type recipe for when you want to have a warm meal waiting for you at the end of the day. Enjoy!
