Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
- 8 oz rotini, penne, or any pasta (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Add the chicken breasts, diced onion, garlic, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker. Do not add the dairy yet.
- Cook on Low for 6–7 hours, or on High for 3–4 hours.
- Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the crock pot.
- Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and spinach (if using). Let it heat for 10–15 minutes until the cheese melts smoothly.
- For pasta: Option A (best texture) – Cook pasta separately, then stir into the soup before serving. Option B (all-in-one) – Add uncooked pasta to the crock pot during the last 20–25 minutes, until tender.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra Parmesan and fresh basil. Serve with garlic bread on the side.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Optionally, cook the pasta separately to preserve texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
