Description
Easy Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup is a warm, hearty, Italian-inspired slow cooker dish that transforms chicken parm into a cozy, spoonable soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup uncooked pasta (small shapes like ditalini or elbow)
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, toasted
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a crockpot. Add onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the crockpot.
- Stir in uncooked pasta. Cook on high for 15–20 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
- Just before serving, stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Top each bowl with toasted panko and fresh herbs for a true chicken parmesan finish.
Notes
- To make this lighter, use part-skim mozzarella and reduce Parmesan
- Use gluten-free pasta if needed by substituting a gluten-free option
- If the soup thickens as it sits, add a splash of broth to reach desired consistency
- Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for 3–4 days
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
