Creamy Chili Soup #slowcooker

Jump to Recipe

When you can’t decide if you want a creamy soup or a chili stew – you put them together in the slow cooker and see what happens! Well turns out you get this amazing Creamy Chili Soup and everyone goes back for seconds! I was very pleasantly surprised how well this came together, so rich and creamy. Definitely a hearty soup for the colder weather.

This one does require a slow cooker (at least 7qt sized) and an immersion blender (some call this a stick blender). While most of the time I say you can use an immersion blender or a regular blender – this one would be very difficult to transfer. And really an immersion blender is such a valuable tool to have in your kitchen. I use mine several times a week. It makes great sauces, soups, mashed veggies.

I served this with some Cheddar Bay Biscuits. It was a toss-up between that and some Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread. You could also go with some salad or really any kind of roll or bread. It is a very hearty soup, so it doesn’t necessarily need a side dish.
