Tomato basil soup is one of my favorite dishes but I honestly have never thought to cook it in a slow cooker. Thanks for sharing!

I made this today and it is one of the best homemade tomato soups ever! Thanks so much for the easy and great recipe!
Can you substitute half and half for the heavy whipping cream?
Yes, half and half should work just fine!
Made it to celebrate the great Arctic Vortex! YUMMY!
Does it do okay freezing it after it’s cooked and then being rewarmed? Has anyone tried this?
Definitely need to use half and half. Delicious flavor but I was only able to eat half of a serving because it was too rich – and I like cream!
