Description
A comforting and creamy chicken soup that warms the soul, featuring tender chicken, rich broth, and savory flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked pasta (optional)
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Begin your culinary adventure by adding the chicken breasts to the Crock Pot. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce—each ingredient bringing its unique character to the pot. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on top, and infuse the base with freshly minced garlic.
- Secure the lid and set your Crock Pot to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The anticipation builds as the fragrant aromas envelop your kitchen.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, carefully remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot, along with the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Stir gently.
- If using pasta, fold it in at this stage, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the soup hot, garnishing with freshly chopped basil leaves.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use full-fat heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
