There's just something about spooning a steaming bowl of soup into your mouth on a cold winter day. Maybe it's the way the flavors come to life on your tongue or how the liquid somehow manages to warm your entire body as it trickles down the back of your throat. Maybe it's the comforting memories it brings back or just the minimal effort it requires to consume it.

Whatever it is, you never turn down a hearty bowl of soup and we can't blame you. When made with the right ingredients, soup can aid weight loss, promote digestion, boost immunity, keep you fuller for longer, and much more! And because life is hella hectic this time of year, we went on a hunt for healthy Crock-Pot recipes that were also soups. It doesn't get any simpler than this.

This diverse list contains recipes that are both delish and got our nutritional stamp of approval. And whatever you do, make sure you're steering clear of these 15 Worst Ingredients to Put in Your Slow Cooker.

Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup

You've heard it a million times: "I don't eat red meat for reasons X, Y, and Z." And while we do understand that there are dietary reasons for ditching the protein, your weight loss goals should not be one of them. In fact, grass-fed beef is higher in stearic acid than conventionally raised beef. Stearic acid is a type of long-chain saturated fat that slows digestion and plays a key role in regulating the energy-producing powerhouses of our cells AKA the mitochondria. Not to mention, studies link stearic acid with lowered LDL cholesterol and reduced inflammation.
