Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • One to 8 ounces of softened cream cheese

Italian Flavor Profile

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced

Instructions
 

Phase 1: Morning Foundation (15 minutes)

  • Strategic Layering Place chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker this ensures even cooking
  • Build Your Vegetable Base Layer diced onions, sliced carrots, and chopped celery over the chicken. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly across vegetables.
  • Season Like a Pro Distribute Italian seasoning, garlic powder, basil, and red pepper flakes over vegetables. Pour chicken broth slowly down the sides
  • Cover tightly and set to LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. Resist the urge to peek

Phase 2: The Transformation (20 minutes)

  • Chicken Check After cooking time, carefully remove chicken pieces using tongs. The meat should be fork-tender and ready to shred effortlessly
  • Shredding Success Using two forks, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board.

  • Cream Addition Reduce heat to WARM setting. Slowly pour heavy cream while stirring constantly with a large spoon.
  • Power of Parmesan Add freshly grated Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until it melts completely. The cheese should incorporate smoothly, creating a velvety texture throughout the soup.
  • Final Seasoning Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional Italian herbs as needed.
  • Rest and Serve Let the soup rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and temperature to stabilize. Ladle into warmed bowls for the ultimate comfort food experience.
