Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked pasta (like rotini or penne, optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. Reduce the heat to low if it was on high. Stir in the cubed cream cheese until it melts completely into the broth, creating a creamy base.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and the Parmesan cheese until smooth. If you are using pasta, stir it in now.
  6. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the soup is heated through and the cheese is fully incorporated.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a quicker stovetop version, cook the chicken in the broth mixture on the stove until done, then proceed with shredding and adding dairy. This speeds up the process significantly, making it a quick chicken soup dinner option.
