Nicole Russel, who shared this recipe, says that this slow cooker lasagna soup has “all the flavors you love from lasagna, thrown together in a slow cooker without all the work and cleanup.” She likes to add a half pound of Italian sausage to this as well for some extra herbaceousness.
“I love how this one turned out,” shared a reviewer. “My whole family really enjoyed it. I added Sausage as well as the beef and I decreased the amount of liquid to make it a bit thicker. I was making this soup to take to a sick friend so I went ahead and stirred in the ricotta to the soup before packaging it up. It was delicious!”

Throw these ingredients in the slow cooker before heading off to work, and you’ll come home to the most tantalizing meal. The soup features a richly spiced broth filled with lentils, ham, and veggies. Pair it with cornmeal muffins, and you have a great dinner!
“This had great flavor depth,” said one Allrecipes member. “I sweated the onions, carrots, and celery, and used diced tomatoes instead of sauce. The broth and ham brought in enough saltiness for our family, and there was also a sweetness from the carrots, tomatoes, and ham.”
Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Chili
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
If you’re a fan of Buffalo Chicken Dip, you’re going to love this soup version. It has all the classic add-ins—Frank’s RedHot, cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, scallions, chicken breasts, and more. This is truly a “set it and forget it” meal. And with minimal hands-on time and minimal clean up, it’s going to be your new favorite weeknight recipe.
“I love everything ‘buffalo’ so I was excited to try this recipe,” shared one reviewer. “You can easily tweak this recipe with what you have on hand. I added diced celery and carrots for extra veggies and black beans! So good!”
Spicy Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
This filling soup is perfect for cold autumn nights. The list of ingredients is simple—black beans, broth, jalapeños, and a bunch of seasoning. Feel free to add in garlic, onion, or some Andouille sausage for a punch-up. Serve over rice with some scallions and sour cream.
“This recipe is sooo easy to make,” shared a reviewer. “All the ingredients it calls for are staple items in my kitchen, so I didn’t have to go shopping. I added a ham bone I had saved for soup, and it made extra. However, the first time I made it I did it without the ham bone, and it was still super delicious. I also processed about 1 1/2 cups of the beans to give it a creamy consistency. This is a keeper. Love it!”
Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Taco Soup
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
With all the same flavors as King Ranch Chicken and the convenience of throwing everything into a slow cooker, this will also quickly become a favorite. Top with fried corn tortilla strips, if desired.
“This is my first recommendation because it is one of the best soups, especially to warm you up on cold winter day,” shared an Allrecipes member. “The original recipe is very good. I like soups a little spicier. I used a whole onion and pepper, whole package of taco seasoning with about 3-4 tablespoons of oil and 7oz. can of mild chilies. Original recipe or changes, you won’t be disappointed!!!”
