Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups uncooked pasta (small pasta shapes like rotini, penne, or elbow)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to the Crock Pot: Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your Crock Pot. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), onion, garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the Crock Pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Add Cream, Cheese, and Pasta: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, mozzarella cheese, and uncooked pasta. Stir well to combine. Cover and cook on low for another 30-40 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time—just shred it and add it to the soup in place of the uncooked chicken.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use a bit less chicken broth or add a slurry of cornstarch and water during the final step.
- Feel free to swap out the pasta for gluten-free pasta if necessary, and adjust the cooking time as needed for gluten-free pasta.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some extra Parmesan on top before serving.
