Crockpot soup recipes

I love making crockpot soup recipes. I can put all the ingredients into a slow cooker and be done. One soup most are afraid to make as a crockpot soup recipe is a cream soup or a bisque.

For cream soups or bisques you have to wait to add the milk products until later. So a slow cooker cream soup recipe isn’t quite dumped and forget. This intimidates some from trying to make the soup recipe in a crockpot.

Bisque vs soup

A bisque is a soup. However, the main difference between bisque vs soup is that in a bisque the main ingredient is cooked with alcohol, which’s been puréed with cream for a thicker consistency.

Mushroom bisque

I really wanted to make a cream of mushroom soup. However, a friend talked me into making a mushroom bisque instead. Although a white cooking wine would be ideal to use in a mushroom bisque, I decided to use a gin ingredient instead.

Why use a gin ingredient? Gin is made with juniper berries, I thought that the sharp taste of gin would be good in a slow cooker mushroom soup.

Slow cooker mushroom soup

Even though this mushroom bisque is being made with gin, I still wanted this to be a slow cooker mushroom soup. I wanted this mushroom soup to be easy.

One way to have this as an easy soup recipe is to have it be made in the slow cooker. A slow cooker mushroom soup recipe is perfect for anyone to make that loves cream of mushroom soup.

This mushroom bisque with the secret gin ingredient, how does it taste? My taste testers loved it! The gin really added to the mushroom soup.

Do you need the gin in this mushroom bisque? No, you can omit it, but it does really enhance the flavor in this soup recipe!
