Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s talk about what makes this soup shine. You probably have most of these ingredients already waiting in your pantry!

Protein & Broth Base

• 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth – the flavorful base that ties everything together

Aromatics & Vegetables

• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Tomato Element

• 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes – for that classic marinara tone we all know and love

Creamy Finish

• 1 cup heavy cream – luscious and rich
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese – that salty-nutty magic that makes this soup unforgettable

Thickening Agent (Optional)

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water – to make it a bit thicker if you prefer

Finishing Touch

• Fresh parsley, chopped – because a little green makes everything prettier
• Extra shredded Parmesan for garnish

Optional Substitutions:

• Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter soup.
• Add frozen chopped spinach during the last hour for an extra nutrient boost (and to sneak in some veggies for the kids!).

How to Make Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

Step 1: Build the Flavor Base

Place your raw chicken breasts right into the bottom of your crock pot. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and crushed tomatoes. Pour in the chicken broth to cover everything nicely.

You don’t need to brown anything first—your slow cooker is going to infuse all that flavor as it simmers.

Step 2: Set and Simmer

Pop the lid on and set it to:

• Low heat: 6–7 hours, or
• High heat: 3–4 hours

This gentle cooking time lets the chicken become melt-in-your-mouth tender while the aromatics work their magic.

Step 3: Shred the Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked and easily pulls apart, remove it using tongs. Shred the meat with two forks into bite-sized pieces (this part smells amazing). Then, slide it right back into the crock pot.

Step 4: Make It Creamy

Stir in the heavy cream. Want it thicker? Mix your cornstarch and water, then pour that in. Give it a good stir and let it work its thickening charm.

Step 5: Add Parmesan Cheese

Now for the best part—slowly sprinkle in the Parmesan while stirring constantly. This keeps it silky instead of clumpy. Keep the lid off and cook for another 20–30 minutes on low until it’s beautifully creamy.

Step 6: Final Seasoning and Garnish

Taste, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and get ready to ladle it up. Top with more Parmesan (because there’s no such thing as too much cheese) and a sprinkle of parsley.

Your kitchen will smell like an Italian bistro—and dinner’s ready!

Cooking Tips from Aneta’s Kitchen

• Don’t stress about lumps. If your soup looks a little uneven at first, it’ll smooth out as it sits. Patience—and cheese—solve most problems.
• Make it ahead. This soup reheats like a dream. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze it for those nights when cooking feels impossible.
• Pair it perfectly. Serve with garlic bread or a side Caesar salad for the full Chicken Parmesan experience.

(Fun fact: my family now requests this soup every time the weather dips below 60°F! It started as a quick weeknight experiment and turned into a cozy family favorite.)
