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
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Shred the chicken:
Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. This allows the shredded chicken to soak up all the delicious flavors of the broth.
4. Add the cheese, cream, and pasta:
Stir in the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, and uncooked rotini pasta. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 30 minutes or high for 15 minutes, until the pasta is tender and cooked through.
5. 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 they turn golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve and garnish:
Once the pasta is cooked, ladle the soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of crispy bread crumbs for that classic Chicken Parmesan crunch.
7. Enjoy:
Serve your Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of this hearty, cheesy, and flavorful dish!
Recipe Tips:
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to add some vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition. You can also use any type of short pasta you like, such as penne or fusilli.
- Thicker Soup: If you prefer a thicker soup, use less broth or let the soup simmer for a bit longer after adding the pasta.
- Freezer-Friendly: This soup freezes well! Just make sure to cook the pasta separately if you plan to freeze the soup, as pasta can become mushy when reheated.
