If you can use a can opener, you can make this delicious soup. Seven cans of simple ingredients make this soup super easy to make.
This slow cooker soup is loaded with veggies and beans and is a soup that you can feel good about eating. It can easily be prepared as a vegetarian meal – simply use vegetarian chili.
How To Make Easy Seven Can Soup
The hardest part about making this recipe is opening cans. You need one each of the following:
- Diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions
- Petite diced tomatoes
- Ro*Tel or tomatoes with green chiles
- Mixed vegetables
- Corn
- Kidney beans
- Chili beans
If you like spicy food, you can easily substitute a can of Hot Ro*Tel for the original. You really could use any variety of diced tomatoes that have some sort of spicy peppers to liven up the soup. Key tip: do NOT drain the cans.
Pour the contents of all of the cans into your slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-8 hours.

Notes
Nutrition
Easy Seven Can Soup has become a family favorite, especially on cold days. We like to pair it with some homemade cornbread. When we have some habanero cheese on hand, I make my Peppered Cornbread.
When I don’t have the ingredients on hand to make cornbread, we eat this wonderful soup with whatever we can find in the pantry, usually tortilla chips, corn chips, or saltine crackers.
If you don’t have a slow cooker
, you could place all of the ingredients in a large stock pot
. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the temperature and then simmer on the stovetop for about 1/2 an hour. (If you have an Instant Pot, just use the slow cooker settings.)
Freezer Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, you can freeze them and enjoy later. Once the soup has cooled, ladle it into ziplock freezer bags. I recommend using quart size. Try to remove excess air from the bag to help prevent freezer burn. Date the freezer bag and use within 2 months for best results.
When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a pot on the stove.

Would a can of mixed veggies with peas taste good?
Lynda says
In this recipe? Definitely.
Allen Harris says
Sometimes I add some Barley.
Kait says
We used to make something like this every year with my church. Perfect for those cold days!
ron says
can you put ham and carrots ,celery and onions in it?
Lynda says
I would imagine that you could, but that would completely change the flavor profile.

I love eating soup during snowy days, but truth be told, I love eating throughout the year! I love vegetable soup, so I’m definitely going to try this version.

Thanks, Stephanie. Anything with Fritos is a winner to me. Hope you have fun, too!

I love this idea. Super easy and tasty. We are looking at massive power outages here in Atlanta due to an ice storm that started today… this would be perfect. One pot, our gas stove and lighter, and we have a meal. I bet we even have the 7 cans we need (I certainly don’t want to brave the grocery store right now).
Pinning for later – and printing for tomorrow (in case the power is out).
Lynda says
I hope that you don’t lose your power. We are under the same winter warning as you. Keep warm.
