Print Recipe

A cozy, creamy, and cheesy slow cooker soup featuring tender shredded chicken, cheese tortellini, and a rich parmesan-infused broth. Perfect for easy, comforting dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Add sautéed onion and garlic, canned diced tomatoes with juices, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  4. Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  5. Stir in cheese tortellini. Cover and cook for another 20-30 minutes until tortellini is tender but holds its shape.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Sautéing onion and garlic before adding to the crockpot enhances flavor. Add tortellini near the end to avoid mushy pasta. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best creaminess. Adjust salt gradually due to salty broth and cheese. If soup is too thick, add broth or water; if too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry.
