Description
A comforting and cheesy soup that combines the flavors of chicken Parmesan into a cozy bowl, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
- Scatter the diced onion and minced garlic over the chicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes. Stir gently to combine.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over everything. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and very tender.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir.
- Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Add the tortellini and fresh spinach. Increase to high and cook for 20–30 minutes, until the tortellini is heated through and the spinach is wilted.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot.
Notes
If your slow cooker runs hot, check chicken at 5 hours. If using frozen tortellini, allow additional time in the final step. For best results, use fresh tortellini.
