This is a unique tomato soup recipe. You might be thinking “what could be unique about Crockpot tomato soup” but it’s a secret ingredient lurking below the surface!

This recipe also includes a homemade fresh basil pesto! This simple basil pesto sauce goes into the soup and it gives it a fresh pop of flavor that you might not expect.

The great thing about this homemade tomato soup is that you control what goes in, that means no weird ingredients that you find in canned foods.

Thanks to the Crockpot there’s no extra work involved either, you can have the simplicity of a canned soup that is hot, fresh, and ready for dinner without much work.

Here’s what you’ll need for the homemade tomato soup:

For the full amounts, nutrition information, and tips check out the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. In the meantime, here’s what you’ll need for the soup portion of this recipe:

Canned whole peeled tomatoes, tomato sauce, vegetable broth, garlic, onions, bell pepper, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, heavy cream, and salt/pepper to taste after it’s done!

For the homemade basil pesto you’ll need fresh basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic. That’s it! Nothing too crazy or exciting but it does add a nice fresh flavor to the tomato soup that you won’t find in other recipes.

How to make Crockpot tomato soup:

First we’ll need to make the homemade pesto, so let’s do that first!

Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth

Add half (or to taste) of pesto to soup per instructions

Refrigerate the rest in airtight container

Now we can start the soup recipe which is just as simple as the pesto, so don’t worry about those few extra steps!

Place all ingredients except heavy cream and salt & pepper into a 6 qt slow cooker

Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours

When done, use immersion blender to puree until desired consistency is reached

Stir in fresh pesto, heavy cream, and salt & pepper

Garnish with fresh basil, parmesan cheese and sour cream

Serve immediately and enjoy!

You can store the leftover pesto in the refrigerator in a sealed container, the same goes for the tomato soup…if there’s any left!
