Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 cup dry rotini pasta (optional)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, diced onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), basil, oregano, salt, and pepper into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. If using pasta, stir the rotini pasta into the soup base. Cook on high for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  5. Reduce the heat to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting. Stir in the heavy cream and the 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  6. Prepare the crispy topping: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  7. Ladle the hearty chicken Parmesan soup into bowls. Top each serving with the toasted breadcrumbs and extra grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a lighter soup, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • If you skip the pasta, this soup is naturally gluten-free (ensure your broth is certified GF).
  • This recipe freezes well before adding the cream and pasta; add those components when reheating.
