Slow cooker tomato soup is velvety and rich with sweet tomato flavours. Put this in the slow cooker at breakfast time for an appetising and healthy lunch!
Peel and dice the vegetables into chunks of around 2cm or less. Add these to the slow cooker.
Add all of the remaining ingredients apart from the milk. Stir everything together.
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
Check that the soup mixture is completely cooked through. The onions will be translucent and the vegetables can be easily sliced through with a knife. Then add the milk and cook for a further 15 minutes on high.
Next, carefully transfer the soup mixture to a jug blender and pulse until smooth. You can also do this with a stick blender directly in the slow cooker.
Serve immediately or allow to cool and store in the fridge or freezer.
