Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup

The winter weather has really kicked in here! The days are cold, but the mornings and evenings are nearly icy! On days like these, I want nothing more than a bowl of nice, hot soup to help warm me up. When we eat out in the winter, I often like to order tomato basil soup, and sometimes order more to go.

If you need a hearty, hot soup to help you get through the winter, you’ve got to make this Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup!

I love slow cooker recipes! They’re such a great way to make it so you don’t have to worry about dinner being ready on time. You’re free to go about your day, knowing that your slow cooker is working away at making a delicious meal! I personally prefer my Crock-Pot, but any type of slow cooker will work fine for this recipe.
