Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken fillets
- 4 cups (946 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 can (15 ounces or 425 grams) diced tomatoes
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- ½ cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Nestle chicken fillets into the slow cooker, creating a flavorful base with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper for a robust seasoning profile.
- Cascade chicken broth and diced tomatoes over the seasoned chicken, gently mixing to distribute the ingredients evenly and create a harmonious liquid foundation.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and allow the chicken to simmer and tenderize, selecting either a low 6-7 hour cycle or a high 3-4 hour duration until the meat becomes perfectly succulent.
- Extract the cooked chicken and methodically deconstruct it using two forks, transforming the fillets into delicate, bite-sized shreds before returning them to the aromatic cooking liquid.
- Introduce heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring gently to incorporate and create a luxurious, velvety texture that enhances the soup’s depth and richness.
- Let the mixture meld on low heat for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the cheese to dissolve and the soup to achieve a slightly thickened consistency.
- Elegantly portion the creamy chicken parmesan soup into serving bowls, adorning with optional embellishments like crisp croutons, vibrant fresh basil, or melting shredded mozzarella.
- Accompany the soup with crusty bread or golden garlic toast, perfect for capturing every last drop of the decadent broth.
Notes
