If you are a fan of the classic chicken parmigiana, then you are going to love this Chicken Parmesan Soup since it has all the flavors of chicken parmesan in soup form. 

You cannot go wrong with a mixture of pasta cooked to al dente, a creamy tomato pasta soup, and tender pieces of chicken all in a bowl of soup made in the slow cooker. 

​Soup season is here, and this slow cooker chicken parmesan soup will be one you will want to make over and over on busy weeknights.

This is such a flavorful soup using only a handful of simple ingredients and it makes for a perfect weeknight dinner, especially on the chilly days ahead.

Ingredients for Chicken Parmesan Soup:

• Chicken: use boneless skinless chicken breast
• Seasoning: you will need minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning
• Tomatoes: be sure to have cans of both crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce
• Broth: use either chicken broth or chicken stock to add so much flavor to this creamy soup
• Cheese:  Parmesan cheese
• Cream: using heavy cream will add a balance of cream and sweetness to this parmesan soup recipe
• Pasta: I like to use elbow pasta in this dish
• Topping: for the topping you will need Italian-style breadcrumbs, unsalted butter, and shredded mozzarella cheese

How to make Chicken Parmesan Soup:

To a large slow cooker add the chicken breast, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and shred or chop it into smaller pieces.

Add the chicken back into the slow cooker.

Stir in the parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and elbow pasta. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until the pasta is tender.

While the pasta is cooking start cooking the breadcrumb mixture.

Add the butter and breadcrumbs to a pan on the stove and cook on medium heat until a deeper golden brown color forms. Remove from the heat.

Once the pasta is tender, top each bowl with the breadcrumb mixture and mozzarella cheese.

How to store leftovers of this parmesan recipe:

Fridge: Pour the leftover soup into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

Freezer: Use freezer bags to store it in the freezer for up to 90 days.  

Tips and tricks for making this easy soup recipe: 

Toppings for chicken tomato soup: 

1. Bread crumbs or croutons
2. Fresh basil
3. Freshly shaved parmesan cheese

When to add the pasta to the hot soup:

After the chicken is done cooking, add the dry pasta to the delicious soup. Once you have cooked pasta add the chicken back to the hearty soup, stir, and enjoy. 

Avoid adding the pasta at the beginning of the process or you will have soggy pasta.

Chicken to use: 

I enjoy using chicken breasts when making this recipe, but you could also use chicken tenders or thighs. Using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is also a great option as well.

I enjoy this chicken soup with a simple green salad or a crusty garlic bread that is perfect for dipping.
