Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup
Ingredients
For the Soup:
3 boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 oz rotini pasta (uncooked)
For the Topping:
½ cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Add ingredients to the crockpot:
Place the chicken breasts, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth into your crockpot. Stir everything to combine well.
Cook the soup:
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Shred the chicken:
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot so it soaks up the flavors of the broth.
Add the cheese, cream, and pasta:
Stir in the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, and uncooked rotini pasta. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or on high for 15 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
Prepare the bread crumb topping:
While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve and garnish:
Once the pasta is cooked, ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of crispy bread crumbs for a classic Chicken Parmesan crunch.
Enjoy:
Serve your Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup warm, and enjoy the comforting, hearty flavors of this dish!
