When the Winter weather rolls around, you’ll want to ladle out bowls of warm, heart soup. This Slow Cooker Spaghetti & Meatballs Soup turns a simple family favorite into savory Italian American comfort soup. Serve it with crusty bread and extra Parmesan for an easy dinner any night of the week!

Slow Cooker Spaghetti & Meatballs Soup

This is my time of year y’all. Finally a day spent out in the Sun even requires hoodies and other warm clothes.

Gloves, boots, hats, Winter jackets have all been pulled out of their storage lockers and dusted off.

Slow Cooker Spaghetti & Meatballs Soup

Our thermostat’s set at a comfy 68-70 degrees. The couch cubbies are stuffed with our favorite family throws. Those boots I mentioned earlier? They’re all loving stacked next to the front door, ready for toasty wool socks to be tucked into them in the morning on the way out.

The car radio is already tuned to the 24hr Christmas station. The bins & bins of decorations, ornaments, lights, etc are lined up in the hallway, waiting like the rest of is, in anticipation of finding, cutting down, and bringing home our family tree for 2017.

The other thing that’s been dusted off? The pasta shelf in my pantry. Dusted off, and fully restocked. It only sees this much use one other time of year- and that’s Summer BBQ season when we’re making pasta salads to bring to back yard parties and potlucks.

Some of our favorite pasta based dishes are what we’re most looking forward to when Winter rolls around.

Don’t get me wrong- we’ve allllll got our Winter favorites. I mean, just off hand, some of mine include our Chipotle Sweet Corn Leftover Meatloaf Chili or even our Asiago Bisque.

They only have to really fulfill three things, to be thick, hearty, & comforting- all things that this amazing Slow Cooker Spaghetti & Meatballs Soup encompasses.

      You can use freshly minced or the jarred already minced for you kind you purchase in the grocery store. Either’s fine- just a personal preference thing šŸ™‚

      I’d recommend using yellow onion, and add it in with everything else in the beginning.
