Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with boneless turkey breast for a leaner option.
  • 4 cups Chicken broth Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
  • 15 ounces Diced tomatoes Undrained; fresh tomatoes can enhance the soup’s freshness in season.
  • 6 ounces Tomato paste Sun-dried tomato paste can add a delightful twist.
  • 1 Medium onion Diced; yellow or white onions work well.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced; roasted garlic can enhance sweetness and complexity.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano Consider using fresh oregano for a more vibrant flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried basil Fresh basil may be used in larger quantities if desired.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Adjust based on the saltiness of the broth.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly cracked pepper offers the best aroma and taste.
For the Cheesy Finish
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese Can substitute with dairy-free cheese for a vegan alternative.
  • 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Nutritional yeast can be a great replacement for a dairy-free option.
  • Fresh basil leaves For garnish, optional.

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chicken - Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot, laid flat.
  2. Step 2: Create the Flavorful Broth - In a mixing bowl, combine chicken broth, undrained diced tomatoes, tomato paste, diced onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together.
  3. Step 3: Combine Ingredients - Pour the broth mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
  4. Step 4: Shred the Chicken - Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken in the crockpot and stir it into the soup.
  5. Step 5: Add the Cheesy Goodness - Stir in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated.
  6. Step 6: Serve with a Personal Touch - Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy with crusty bread or a side salad.
