Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
Soup Base:
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
Creamy Mixture:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water (optional, for thickening)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place raw chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. This will serve as the protein base for the soup.
- Add chopped onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and crushed tomatoes. These ingredients will infuse the soup with rich flavors.
- Pour chicken broth over ingredients. This will create the base liquid for the soup.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Remove chicken and shred with forks; return to crock pot. Shredding the chicken adds texture to the soup.
- Stir in heavy cream. This adds a luxurious creaminess to the soup.
- (Optional) Add cornstarch slurry and stir to thicken. This step is for those who prefer a thicker soup consistency.
- Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted. The cheese will add a rich, savory flavor.
- Cook uncovered on low for an additional 20–30 minutes. This final step allows the flavors to intensify.
- Season with salt and pepper; garnish with parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste and add a fresh touch with parsley.
