How to Make Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup

In your crockpot, place the chicken broth, chicken breasts, pressed tomatoes, chopped garlic, Italian seasoning, tomato sauce, pepper, and salt.
Put the cover on your crockpot and let it cook for 3 to 4 hours on high, or 6 to 8 hours on low until the chicken is tender and flavorful.
Once cooked, take your chicken out and shred it using two forks.
Pour in your heavy whipping cream, rotini pasta, and freshly grated parmesan into the pot.
Put the lid on and cook for another 15 minutes on high, or 30 minutes on low, until the pasta is tender.
For an extra touch of crunch, sear your breadcrumbs in a pan with a bit of butter until golden brown.
For each serving, top the soup with breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Dig in and enjoy!
