I made this yesterday (half the recipe) and we had it for two nights. It's SO good! I cannot imagine making the whole recipe. Half a recipe filled my 8 quart instant pot. I don't know how big my regular slow cooker is, maybe it would hold the whole recipe. But I'll definitely make it again. |

Re: Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups
Just my notes for the famous creamy chicken and wild rice soup:
You can use half milk and half cream I add the cooked wild rice at the end I add garlic I substitute herbes de Provence for the rubbed sage I double all the herbs |

Re: Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups
This butternut squash soup is one of my absolute favorites!
https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes...c-67c9912fe37e This split pea soup is really yummy, too. I usually add some ground sausage or bacon to it. https://thethriftyhousewifeblog.blog...-pea-soup.html

Re: Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups
I've heard that a roux is the key to chowders, split pea, and bean soups being thick instead of watery.
I've yet to put the effort in to testing that advice.

Re: Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups
The ones I posted do not use a roux, and are quite thick, but I wonder if it's because of being in a slow cooker, and some of the liquid evaporates when cooking for that long

Re: Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups
Browsing the thread today for ideas. I'm thinking the fagoli, and putting a bunch of others on next week's grocery list.
This can hardly be called a recipe, but...for non-soup meals, I used to make "taco chicken" or "barbecue chicken."
That's all. When done, shred with a fork and eat in taco shells with all the fixings, or barbecue chicken on kaiser rolls/hamburger buns. That was one of my go-to recipes from the days of infants and toddlers underfoot and not having the patience to brown beef, cut produce, or measure a bunch of ingredients. It's not gourmet, but the only way to ruin it is to put too little seasoning for the amount of meat. It's definitely better than the recipe I tried once (from a book!) that called for chicken, salsa, and pineapple. Sometimes, there is such as thing as too creative, lol. I suspect that somewhere there's probably a sloppy joe recipe that would be the same non-soup concept, though by the time you brown the beef, I'm not sure that it's worth the crockpot. My MIL used to make a hamburger soup with marjoram and potatoes and crushed tomatoes that wasn't browned, but that's the only dish I know like that. I don't have a recipe for that one, either...just chop potatoes and onions, dump beef and tomatoes, season with marjoram and anything else that sounds good... It might have had corn and/or celery, depending on who was eating it, and whether you had any on hand.

Re: Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups
Bumping this up for my fall & winter menu planning. I'm so glad I have this thread as I forgot about the butternut squash soup pantry meal! I hope I can find that soup at Costco or on sale at my grocery store.
