Description

This Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup is a comforting and hearty meal that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich, creamy tomato broth infused with Italian flavors. Slow-cooked to perfection, it features a velvety blend of heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, making it a perfect dish for cozy dinners or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Vegetables and Seasoning

  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Dairy and Cheese

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Place the raw chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add aromatics and seasonings: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and crushed tomatoes on top of the chicken for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Add chicken broth: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth to cover the ingredients and create the soup base, then cover the crock pot with its lid.
  4. Slow cook the soup: Cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or on high heat for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  5. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken back into the crock pot.
  6. Add creamy ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and integrated into the soup.
  7. Final simmer: Cook uncovered on low heat for an additional 20–30 minutes to thicken the soup and blend the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness of the soup.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, though the texture will be less rich.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding freshly chopped basil or parsley before serving.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Make sure to shred the chicken finely for the best texture.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6 to 7 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high, plus 20 to 30 minutes final simmer
