Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 23 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 34 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Creamy Finish

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crock pot: Place the raw chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot, ensuring they lay flat for even cooking.
  2. Add aromatics and seasoning: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and the can of crushed tomatoes over the chicken, spreading evenly.
  3. Pour in broth and cook: Pour the 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth over the ingredients, cover the crock pot with the lid securely.
  4. Slow cook the soup: Cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily.
  5. Shred chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot, shred them finely with two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the soup base.
  6. Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream to the soup, then gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
  7. Final simmer: Cook the soup uncovered on low for an additional 20 to 30 minutes to thicken slightly and blend flavors before serving.

Notes

  • You can use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken to save time and add at the end, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • For a thicker soup, add a slurry of cornstarch and water during the final simmer.
  • Adjust Italian seasoning quantity to taste or use a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme for freshness.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over cooked pasta for a filling meal.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
