For the full recipe and ingredients, scroll to the bottom for the recipe card.
Recipe Variations:
- Cooked Chicken – We used frozen chicken breast for this recipe, but you can easily use boneless chicken thighs or chicken tender. If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, you can add that to the soup as well.
- Double the Recipe – This recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd. Double the ingredients for a crowd pleasing soup. Add a side of salad and breadsticks and everyone will come back for more.
- Seasoning – We used Italian Seasoning blend for this recipe. You can easily use fresh herbs if you prefer or other types of seasoning.
- Change the Pasta – We usually cook this dish with a traditional pasta. But if you prefer to use gluten free pasta or whole wheat pasta instead, I would cook separately. This will ensure that the pasta gets cooked and is not mushy.
- Add in Vegetables – Add in bell peppers, onions, or spinach to add flavor to this delicious soup.
- Spicy – Add in Red Pepper Flakes to this soup to add a little kick to the soup.
Step by Step Instructions:
- Step 1 – First, add the chicken breast, minced garlic, and crushed tomatoes. Then add in tomato sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and chicken broth to the crock pot.
- Step 2 – Cover crock pot with lid, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Step 3 – Remove the chicken, shred and add back to the slow cooker.
- Step 4 – About 30 minutes before serving, add in the shredded Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream and rotini pasta. Cook until everything is blended together and the pasta is cooked al dente.
- Step 5 – During this last step, I like to go ahead and sauté the bread crumbs. Cook in the butter in a sauce pan on the stovetop.
- Step 6 – Top the individual soup servings with mozzarella cheese and bread crumbs. Enjoy! It really is so tasty.
How to Serve
- Garden Salad – Serve it with a salad and your dinner is complete. Talk about an easy and frugal dinner idea.
- Cheese Sticks – It’s also really good with garlic bread or Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe. I highly recommend the bread.
- More Easy Sides – See What to Serve with Chicken Parmesan for easy side dishes.
- Steamed Broccoli – In just minutes, this easy broccoli side dish is ready to enjoy. It is light and healthy. We love this with the cream sauce.
I like serving this dish with a light veggie. It balances out the heavy cream sauce for the best combination.
My kids also like to spoon the sauce over the veggies and they don’t complain about eating their veggies.
Topping Ideas:
There are many different ways to top this delicious soup. These are some of our favorites.
- Croutons
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Ricotta
Can this Soup be Made on the Stove Top?
Yes, this soup can definitely be made in your dutch oven or in a large pot on the stove. Place the ingredients in the large pot and cook until chicken is done.
Add in the pasta and the heavy cream once the chicken is cooked and shredded. Continue cooking for about 20 minutes and then serve with your favorite topping.
I like to make it on the stove top as well if I am going to be home. It cooks perfectly on the stove and it always smells delicious.
Frequently Asked Questions:
This Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan Soup is delicious leftover. We like to place in individual air tight containers for an easy way to have lunch the next day. Place containers in the refrigerator and they will stay good for about 3 to 4 days.
This soup heats well on the stove or in a microwave. The soup is delicious the next day as the ingredients really marinate together. Add a side of garlic bread and your lunch is complete.
I would recommend keeping the pasta and cream broth separate and just freezing the soup contents. Then when you are ready to serve again, add in the tortellini. Then mix in the heavy cream as the recipe card indicates.
If frozen properly, this soup will last about 2 months in the freezer. Thaw soup in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat on the stovetop.

Love the easy crockpot recipes
Can you can this soup?
Do you think it would work if I left the chicken out? Maybe add extra pasta instead?
Yes, it would still be delicious without the chicken. I don’t think you would need to add more pasta. Let me know how it turns out!
How would these directions translate to a instant pot version? It looks delicious!!!
I haven’t tried it yet but I would cook the ingredients that are initially added to the crock pot on high pressure for 25 minutes with a quick release. Shred the chicken and stir in the uncooked pasta. Then cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with a quick release. Then serve with the sautéed breadcrumbs – let me know how it turns out!
I really love this soup! So easy and so delicious! The melted butter and bread crumbs make it! Awesome recipe! Thank you!
Thank you Jane! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is the BEST soup. I’m not kidding! I’ve made it so many times now and I only recently discovered it. It’s so easy to make and it is delicious. A household favourite for my whole family!
It is one of my favorites too! Thank you for rating and leaving a comment. We appreciate you!
If I use rotisserie shredded chicken for this recipe, do I still follow the first steps for cooking in crockpot?
No you wouldn’t have to and you wouldn’t need to cook it as long.
I imagined this to taste liked a liquidy chicken pasta, but it was actually really good. My husband loved it too. Needed to cook the noodles for about 25 min on high. But this is definitely going in our soup rotation. Delish
I’m so glad you loved it!
Very good! Followed the recipe exactly but used an entire box of pasta.
This was sooooooo good! I made my chicken the night before so I only had it on high for a few hours before adding the second set of ingredients and it worked out well!
An I substitute penna noodles instead of spiral? Also will they be gummy if cooked in crock pot ? Thx looking forward to making this!
Yes, you can use penne pasta instead of rotini in this recipe. I don’t think the pasta is gummy when cooked in the crock pot. If the pasta is gummy, it probably still needs more time to cook in the crock pot.
Made this for dinner tonight, it was a huge hit! We used egg noodles as that’s one of our fav soup noodles! We will definitely be making this again.
I love this recipe definitely adding it to the rotation, has anyone tried adding bacon pieces to it? Just wondering if it would be worth the shotm
I havne’t tried that but I love that idea!
Delicious! We will definitely be adding this to our meal rotation. I started this too late in the day to do in the crockpot so I did it on the stovetop and it came together quickly. I accidentally added a whole box of pasta so I added 2 more cups of chicken broth – it was more like a goulash – and I only had fat free half & half on hand but everything else I did according to the recipe and it was delicious! The family loved it
The flavor of this dish is excellent. Will make this again but I am not a big fan of pasta in the crockpot (gummy) so I will be cooking it separately next time and adding at the end.
