Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup Ingredients

You’ll need:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup pasta sauce of choice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 8 ounces uncooked pasta

How to Make Chicken Parmesan Soup in the Crockpot

1. Add everything to the slow cooker.

Add the chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, pasta sauce, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to your crockpot.

Give everything a gentle stir, then cover with the lid.

2. Slow cook the chicken.

Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is completely cooked through and tender.

3. Shred the chicken.

Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks.

Add the shredded chicken back to the soup.

4. Add the pasta.

Stir in the uncooked pasta.

Cover the crockpot again and allow the pasta to cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until it is tender. Cooking time can vary depending on the type and shape of pasta you’re using, so check it periodically toward the end.

5. Make it creamy and cheesy.

Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and heavy whipping cream.

Continue stirring until the cheeses have melted and the soup is creamy and combined.

Serve warm and enjoy!

What Kind of Pasta Should I Use?

You can use just about any smaller pasta shape you love. Rotini, penne, bowties, shells, or rigatoni would all be delicious.

Keep in mind that different pasta shapes may need slightly different cooking times in the crockpot. Start checking your pasta around the 20-minute mark so it doesn’t overcook.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup

Don’t add the pasta at the beginning. Pasta can become very soft when cooked for several hours, so wait until the chicken is finished cooking before adding it.

Add the cream and cheese at the end. Stirring in the dairy ingredients after the soup has finished slow cooking gives you a smoother, creamier broth.

Use your favorite pasta sauce. Since the sauce adds a lot of flavor to this recipe, choose one you already know your family loves.

Adjust the consistency as needed. The pasta will absorb some of the broth as it cooks. If you prefer a thinner soup, stir in an extra splash of chicken broth before serving.

What to Serve With Chicken Parmesan Soup

This soup is filling enough to be a complete dinner on its own, but it’s also delicious served with:

• Garlic bread
• Toasted Italian bread
• Breadsticks
• A simple Caesar salad
• Mixed green salad
• Roasted vegetables

And, of course, you can never go wrong with a little extra Parmesan sprinkled over the top.

How to Store Leftover Chicken Parmesan Soup

Allow leftover soup to cool before transferring it to an airtight container.

Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

The pasta will continue to soak up some of the broth while the soup sits, so you may want to add a splash of chicken broth when reheating.

Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm the soup gently in a saucepan on the stove.

Can I Make Chicken Parmesan Soup Ahead of Time?

Yes! If you’re preparing this soup ahead of time, one option is to make the chicken and tomato soup base without the pasta.

When you’re ready to serve it, warm the soup and then add freshly cooked pasta, followed by the Parmesan, mozzarella, and heavy cream.

This helps prevent the pasta from becoming too soft while sitting in the refrigerator.
