Equipment

  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

  • Bowls
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the chicken breasts, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper in the crockpot.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the oregano, basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  7. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve with croutons or toasted bread for dipping.

Notes

Monitor the cooking time closely to avoid overcooking the chicken. Add the cheese towards the end to prevent separation. Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs. Serve with toasted croutons or garlic bread for a textural contrast. For a thicker soup, add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) towards the end of the cooking process. Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup for longer storage.
