• Pairs beautifully with garlic bread or a side salad.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 450 g / 1 lb)

• 1 can (400 g / 14 oz) diced tomatoes

• 2 cups (480 ml) chicken broth

• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream

• ½ cup (60 g) grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 cup (120 g) shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 tsp (4 g) Italian seasoning

• 1 tsp (5 g) salt (adjust to taste)

• ½ tsp (2 g) black pepper, freshly ground

• 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil (optional, for richness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Load the Crock Pot

   • Place chicken breasts into the crock pot.

   • Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

2. Cook Low and Slow

   • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.

3. Shred the Chicken

   • Remove chicken breasts, shred with two forks, and return to the pot.

4. Make it Creamy

   • Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

5. Finish with Mozzarella

   • Sprinkle mozzarella on top, let it melt into the soup before serving.

6. Serve

   • Ladle into bowls and serve hot with toasted garlic bread.

Tips for the Creamiest Soup

Here’s the trick: don’t skimp on the cheese! Parmesan adds sharpness, while mozzarella brings that melty, stretchy texture we all love. If you want your soup even richer, drizzle in a splash of olive oil when you add the cream.

For a thicker consistency, reduce the broth slightly or let the soup simmer uncovered for 15 minutes after adding the cream. And if you’re cooking for kids who might side-eye the tomato chunks, blend the tomatoes and broth before adding the cream—smooth and picky-eater-approved.

A Personal Note from My Kitchen

The first time I made this Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup, it was during one of those weeks where everything felt a little chaotic. Work deadlines, soccer practice, grocery runs—you know the drill. I tossed everything into the slow cooker in the morning and hoped for the best.

By evening, I opened the lid and was greeted by the smell of creamy tomato chicken soup filling the whole kitchen. My kids walked in, noses twitching, and asked, “What’s for dinner? It smells amazing.” We paired it with garlic bread, and by the time we finished, the pot was nearly empty.

Now it’s one of my go-to comfort food recipes when I want something hearty but low-effort.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

This soup is hearty enough to stand alone, but it truly shines when paired with the right sides. Garlic bread or a toasted baguette is perfect for dunking into the creamy broth. If you want to balance things out, serve it alongside a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables.

For a full Italian-inspired spread, pair with a simple Caesar salad, a side of roasted asparagus, or even a small bowl of pasta. Honestly, you can’t go wrong—this cheesy chicken soup plays well with just about anything.

How to Store and Reheat

Leftovers? Lucky you! Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm it gently on the stove over medium heat. If it thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it up.

You can also freeze this soup, but note that cream-based soups can separate slightly after thawing. If you do freeze it, reheat slowly while stirring, and add a little extra cream to bring back the silky texture.

FAQs About Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes! Thighs add even more flavor and stay juicy after hours in the crock pot.

Can I make this without heavy cream?

You can substitute half-and-half, but the soup won’t be as rich. For a lighter option, try evaporated milk.

Is this the same as creamy tomato chicken soup?

Similar, but this recipe is cheesier, richer, and inspired by chicken Parmesan flavors.

Can I add pasta to the soup?

Absolutely! Small pasta shapes like ditalini or penne work well. Just cook them separately and stir them in before serving.

The Cozy Ending

There’s something magical about a slow cooker meal that feels like a reward at the end of the day. With Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup, you get all the comfort of a hearty Italian dish without spending hours in the kitchen.

It’s creamy, cheesy, and bursting with flavor—the kind of slow cooker chicken soup that deserves a spot in your weeknight rotation. So grab some bread, cozy up, and let this cheesy chicken soup warm your soul.
