1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

5. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

6. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let it cook for an additional 20-30 minutes on low to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.

7. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

To make it thicker, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it in during the final 30 minutes.

For a low-carb version, skip the tomato paste and use crushed tomatoes instead of diced.

Add cooked pasta or rice at the end if you want a more filling, stew-like consistency.
