How To Make Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup

1. Combine ingredients in crock pot: Add chicken, onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices, chicken broth, and bay leaves to the crock pot.
2. Cook the soup base: Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
3. Shred chicken and remove bay leaves: Take out chicken, shred it with two forks, and discard bay leaves.
4. Puree the soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or blend in batches in a regular blender).
5. Add cheese, cream, and pasta: Stir in Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Return shredded chicken to the crock pot and add uncooked rotini pasta. Cook for an additional 30 minutes until pasta is tender.
6. Serve with mozzarella topping: Sprinkle with mozzarella and melt using a kitchen torch or broiler, if desired.

Recipe Tips

• Do I have to puree the soup?
  No, you can leave it chunky if you prefer a more rustic texture.
• Can I cook the pasta separately?

• What cheese works best for topping?
  Freshly shredded mozzarella melts smoothly and gives a classic Chicken Parmesan flavor.
• Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
  Yes, boneless thighs add more richness and stay juicy.
