Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup is a cozy, cheesy, and comforting dish with tender chicken, savory tomato sauce, and gooey melted cheese. It brings together all the delicious flavors of Chicken Parmesan in a slow-cooked, easy-to-make meal.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

1 (8 oz) can tomato paste

1 (15 oz) can chicken broth

1 tbsp dried basil

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 1/2 cups uncooked pasta (penne or rotini works best)

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crockpot. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and chicken broth on top of the chicken.
  2. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it directly in the Crockpot using two forks.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and thicken the soup.
  6. Add the uncooked pasta and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and cooked through.
  7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with plant-based protein or tofu for a vegetarian version of this soup. You can also add more vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Spicy Kick: Add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to give the soup a spicy twist.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free pasta to make this soup gluten-free. You can also use rice or quinoa instead of pasta for a different texture.
  • Dairy-Free: For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk and omit the cheeses, or use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
