What kind of soup are you looking for? I have a few recipes and might be able to help.

Any that you usually make on the hob can be done in a slow cooker, you just need to chop the veg really small because otherwise it takes forever to cook.

The gammon was gorgeous so tonight I am attempting a whole chicken done in the slow cooker

Sausage Casserole (serves 2 or recipe can be doubled to serve 4)

4 low fat sausages (I used quorn sausages, yummy)
1 carton passata (one large jar would be ok just leave out the water)
tbsp tomato puree
1 large red onion
1 pepper (I like yellow)
2 cloves garlic
fresh/dried basil and oregano, or mixed herbs
1/4 tsp dried cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
pinch of chilli flakes
splash of balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
stock cube

1. Cut the onion into fairly large chunks/wedges and mince the garlic, fry both in frylight over medium heat for a couple of minutes
2. Add the sausages and cook until brown on (if using meat sausages)
3. add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the pan, stir and cook on high heat for one minute
4. Dice pepper leaving fairly chunky
5. put all the ingredients in the slow cooker with a small cup of water and cook for as long as you like

serve with pasta/rice/potatoes/vegetables - this is a really versative dish and the cumin, paprika and chilli give it a teeny bit of spice and warmth =)

Do you think I could make this with pork instead of beef? I do love beef but sadly it doesn't love me back so have try to avoid it
