Storage Tips
- To Store. Let your cooked crockpot soup cool and then store it in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator. Check your specific recipe for information on how long it will keep. Generally, 4 to 5 days is safe (though sometimes we’ll push it a bit farther with a vegetable-only soup).
- To Reheat. Gently rewarm your soup in a pot (large enough to hold your leftovers) over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
Tip!
If your soup has thickened, add splashes of milk or broth as needed to thin the soup.
- To Freeze. Place your cooked crockpot soup in an airtight freezer-safe storage container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- To Freeze for Meal Prep. If you would like to enjoy your frozen soup one portion at a time, try freezing it in multiple storage containers so you can thaw them one at a time. You also can freeze soup in a freezer ziptop bag. Lay the bag flat so that the soup freezes horizontally for easy storage.

What to Serve With Crockpot Soups
All of these soup recipes are delicious served on their own, but here are a few ideas of what you can serve with your soup if you’d like to stretch the meal:
- Bread. Soup and bread are a perfect match! Try Crock Pot Bread, Rosemary Olive Oil Bread, Drop Biscuit Recipe, or Cornbread Muffins.
- Salad. Serve a light, fresh, and versatile salad like Anytime Arugula Salad or Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with your soup.
- Vegetables. Sides like Roasted Zucchini, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, or Roasted Brussels Sprouts are delicious, healthy options.
- Crackers. Prefer crackers instead of bread? Don’t miss my Ranch Crackers.

Recommended Tools to Make These Recipes
- Programmable Slow Cooker. This one is great because it switches to “keep warm” at the end of the cooking time to deter overcooking.
- Cutting Board. My new favorite with TONS of space! This no-slip cutting board is phenomenal as well.
- Sharp Chef’s Knife. Perfect for chopping any soup ingredients. This tool is a worthy investment.
- Immersion Blender. Excellent for pureeing creamy soups directly in the slow cooker. No more messy transfer to the blender.
- Ladle. WAY easier than a spoon (even a large spoon) for filling up bowls and transferring leftovers to storage containers.

Tips and Tricks for Crockpot Soups
- If you’re using cut vegetables or meat, try to cut them all the same size so that they finish cooking at about the same time.
- If a recipe calls for something to be browned, take the extra step if you can. The browning will add a more developed flavor to the soup.
- Ingredients like root vegetables can be placed at the bottom of the slow cooker (where it gets the most heat) because they take longer to cook.
Frequently Asked Questions
Slow cookers are incredibly versatile and will quickly become your best friend in the kitchen. If you want proof, just take a peek at my extensive list of healthy slow cooker recipes on my blog. You can cook everything from casseroles to lasagna to baked potatoes to Asian recipes in the slow cooker (and that’s just to name a few!). Because the slow cooker typically uses low and slow heat, it truly helps tenderize meat and blend flavors.
While raw meat is safe to use, frozen meat is not. During the cooking process, the meat could end up spending too long at room temperature, which may render it unsafe to eat. I recommend always letting your meat thaw before adding it to the slow cooker.
Thankfully, making soup in the slow cooker is simple! Depending on the recipe, there may be some prep work involved, but it’s minimal. Once you add the ingredients, you can let the slow cooker do the work.
Many times, crockpot soups will have a cook time option for both the LOW and HIGH setting on your slow cooker. This allows you to select the cooking time based on your schedule.
