You know, I've never owned a CrockPot new enough, or fancy enough, to have an AUTO position. That might be the ideal setting to hold your soup. I'd check my owner's manual. Alternatively, pick up an instant reading thermometer and measure the food temperature. If your LOW setting doesn't hold the food at 145 degrees or higher, use the HIGH position.

If HIGH is TOO high, IE the food is still cooking and you don't want it to, remove the food from the CrockPot and repan it in something else. Then you can control the holding temp. on top of the stove.

Food held in the Danger Zone of 41 to 140 degrees is subject to microbial contamination resulting in food borne illness.

Is there some reason that you can't just start the meal 2 hours later and avoid the hold time?
