Why You’ll Love This Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

This soup is a flavor-packed twist on traditional chicken soup. It brings the familiar Parmesan and tomato combination you love from Chicken Parmesan and transforms it into a creamy, spoonable meal. It’s the kind of soup that’s filling enough to be dinner on its own, but still feels light thanks to the slow simmered broth. Plus, it reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep or next-day leftovers.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are perfect for this recipe. They cook down to a beautifully tender texture that shreds easily with just a fork. You can also use boneless thighs if you prefer a richer, darker meat flavor. Either option will absorb the creamy, tomato-Parmesan base and give you that perfect melt-in-your-mouth chicken texture.

Ingredients for the Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

This soup leans on simple, pantry-friendly ingredients that come together effortlessly for big flavor.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts provide a lean, protein-packed base that cooks until fork-tender in the slow cooker.

Crushed tomatoes give the soup its classic tomato base and a bit of sweetness.

Chicken broth keeps the soup light while adding savory depth to the flavor.

Yellow onion adds aromatic sweetness that balances the richness of the cheese.

Garlic infuses the broth with that must-have savory flavor.

Italian seasoning offers the perfect blend of herbs to echo Chicken Parmesan flavor.

Red pepper flakes bring just a touch of gentle heat to balance the cream.

Heavy cream adds the velvety, luscious texture that makes the soup feel indulgent.

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is the star ingredient, delivering salty, nutty richness.

Salt and pepper round out and balance all the flavors.

Pasta (optional) such as ditalini or small shells can be added at the end to bulk it up.

How To Make the Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

Step 1: Build the Flavor Base

Add chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker. Stir to combine and ensure the chicken is submerged.

Step 2: Slow Cook Until Tender

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours. Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Step 3: Stir in the Creamy Goodness

Return the shredded chicken to the soup. Stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated. If you’re adding pasta, stir it in now and cook on high for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is just tender.

Step 4: Taste and Finish

Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with more Parmesan on top and crusty bread on the side.

How to Serve and Store This Creamy Soup
