Best Tips for Cooking Crockpot Soups
Crockpot soups are some of the easiest meals to put together. For most recipes, you add all of the ingredients to your crockpot and forget about it until it’s time to eat.
But even with the simplest crockpot recipes, there’s a few important tips to know in order to make your meal taste better.
Reading through these tips now will answer questions that you’ll definitely have later:
Should I Stir My Crockpot Soup?
Even though most crockpot recipes are ‘set it and forget it,’ the occasional stir can help your soup. This isn’t necessary, but it will help you soup cook through more evenly.
When Do I Add Noodles or Pasta to My Crockpot?
Many crockpot soup recipes call for pasta. Generally, you won’t be adding the pasta with the rest of your ingredients as the beginning of your cooking time.
You’ll be adding your pasta around 10 or 15 minutes before your soup is ready to eat so that it doesn’t overcook.
How Big or Small Should I Chop Each Ingredient?
Another theme you’ll notice in crockpot soups is that there’s often lots of chopping involved! You’ll chop up your vegetables or meat before adding it to the crockpot.
A good rule of thumb is to chop everything up to be the same size — that way one ingredient isn’t super chunky and under-cooked while another ingredient is barely noticeable.
Should I Cook My Crockpot Soup on Low or High Heat?
Firstly, choose to cook on low or high heat depending on the amount of time you have & according to the recipe’s recommendations.
If you’re in a hurry, use the ‘high’ cooking time recommended on a recipe. BUT if you have the time — cooking your soup on low will allow the ingredients to simmer longer and can add more depth of flavor to your soup.
Can I Adjust The Seasonings? Add More Salt, Pepper, Spices, Etc?
The beauty of cooking in a crockpot is that you can easily adjust flavors to your liking. Are you a fan of Italian seasonings like oregano or basil? Do you love a classic salt and pepper taste? When cooking in a crockpot, you can add a little extra of the seasonings that you prefer to adjust the soup to your personal preferences.
Just keep in mind that because crockpot soups simmer for hours at a time, a little seasoning can go a long way!
What’s The Best Crockpot?
There’s a ton of crockpot options out there. I’d recommend AT LEAST getting a crockpot with the following features (you’ll thank yourself later)!
- Timer: so that you can set it & forget it
- 3 Heat Settings: low, high, and ‘keep warm’
- 6 qt Size: this is a good size for most standard meals. Most crockpot recipes are designed for a 6 qt.
