Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked pasta
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning in the crockpot.
  2. Step 2: Cook on low for 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  3. Step 3: Shred the chicken using two forks, then stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and cooked pasta.
  4. Step 4: Continue cooking until the soup is creamy and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese and chopped parsley.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotini or small shells for the pasta—they hold the soup well and add nice texture.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
  • If you prefer, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts to reduce cooking time.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain creaminess. The pasta may absorb liquid over time, so add a splash of chicken broth or water when reheating if needed.

How to Serve

A bowl filled with a rich red tomato sauce base, mixed with spiral pasta evenly spread throughout. On top of the sauce are shredded pieces of cooked chicken, scattered well and mixed in. The very center features a generous mound of finely shredded white cheese that contrasts with the red sauce. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled over the chicken and cheese for added color. The bowl is a speckled light brown ceramic, resting on a white marbled surface, with soft string lights and textured fabric partly visible around it. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze this soup?

Yes, you can freeze it, but the pasta may become mushy when thawed. It’s best to freeze the soup without pasta and add cooked pasta when reheating.

What if I don’t have a crockpot?

You can make this soup on the stove by simmering the chicken in the broth and tomatoes until cooked, then following the remaining steps. Cook on low heat and stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Cheese and Cream

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Other

  • 1 cup cooked pasta (such as small shells or elbow macaroni)

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Make sure the chicken breasts are thawed if previously frozen.
  2. Combine in Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts, diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, and Italian seasoning into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine the seasonings evenly.

  5. Finish the Soup: Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and cooked pasta. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Heat Soup Until Creamy: Continue cooking on low or warm setting for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy and bubbly.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.
