One of my favorite things about fall is all the soups. There’s potato soup, broccoli cheese soup, chicken noodle soup. I could go on and on. I love them all and I’m super excited to share my newest soup creation, Swedish Meatball Soup.
It’s hearty, warm, filling and super simple to make in the slow cooker. It reheats like a dream, making it a great meal prep option too.
Ingredients for Slow Cooker Swedish Meatball Soup
Let’s Make Soup
This slow cooker swedish meatball soup is super simple to make. Add onion, butter, beef stock, heavy cream, nutmeg, allspice, salt and pepper to the slow cooker and give it a good stir.
Add the meatballs and stir again. Cook on low for 7 hours or high for 3 hours.
Finishing Steps
Once your time is up, add the egg noodles and cook 15 minutes on high. This will get them perfectly cooked.
Ladle out about 1/2 cup of the broth into a bowl. Whisk in the sour cream then add it all back to the slow cooker and gently stir. This step prevents the sour cream from curdling.
Now ladle the soup into bowls, top with fresh dill and more cracked black pepper if desired and serve.
So Simple
I love this recipe for many reasons but especially for its ease. Using frozen meatballs makes this one super simple to throw together.
If you want to make homemade meatballs, feel free to do so. Form them and place in the slow cooker when the instructions direct you to add the frozen meatballs. Cook the same but be extra careful when stirring as they are more likely to fall apart or crumble.
The fact that everything gets dumped in and cooked makes this ideal for a busy night. Simply add everything to the slow cooker before work and you’ll come home with dinner just about ready.
