Make this comforting Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup for an easy weeknight dinner. It combines tender chicken, rich tomato flavor, and plenty of Parmesan cheese in a creamy broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni, optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, marinara sauce, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the cubed cream cheese until both are completely melted and the soup is smooth.
  5. If using, stir in the heavy cream for a richer texture.
  6. If using pasta, increase the slow cooker setting to HIGH (if it was on LOW) and stir in the dry pasta. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  7. If using mozzarella, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking until melted.
  8. Taste the soup and add salt if needed. Serve hot, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup without pasta, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir the slurry into the hot soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • If you are using this recipe for meal planning, consider preparing the shredded chicken ahead of time.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread for dipping.
