Our easy Crockpot creamy chicken soup can use fresh or shredded rotisserie chicken for an easy one pot meal. Served with my beer bread it is an amazing dinner during the winter months. If you have already fallen in love with our Crockpot creamy chicken this is another family favorite dish.
Give this chicken parmesan soup recipe a whirl this week and let us know what you think! If you love your slow cooker as much as I do, then you will love these vegetables and creamy chicken in a bowl for dinner. One of our favorite crockpot recipes.
I mean chicken soup in the Crockpot is good BUT add some thickness and it’s a heartier meal any time of the day. Typically you add noodles to this one with a thin broth, carrots and celery. This one takes it a step further to make it thick with some of the same ingredients.
Yes we all love our easy chicken pot pie recipe. This is kinda’ like it but without the crust! I make this a lot after we have had this meat the night before and have leftovers. I hate wasting food so coming up with a whole new one with the poultry in my fridge was a must. Now it is a regular dish.
Ingredient Notes
Fresh vegetables were used but in a pinch you could use a bag of mixed frozen peas and carrots, with halved green beans in there too, fresh mushrooms are great, diced onions, etc….. The only real difference is the texture, fresh usually becomes much softer.
Chicken breasts or thighs could be used too. They can be precooked before adding or whole medium sizes work too. I have used both, and sometimes together, depending on what I have on hand.
Then you will need a can of cream of chicken soup or homemade cream of mushroom will work too. This will make it creamy.
Use Milk or a dairy free alternative like creamy cashew milk to thin it out to your liking. You can add more later when done if it thickens up a bit too much. Chicken broth is an alternative but won’t make it creamy.
I add shredded parmesan cheese with the dairy the last 30 minutes so it can melt and get creamier but still offers that intense flavor we love.
The seasonings are really up to you I mean. There are suggestions below but add what you really love. If I have minced garlic on hand I’ll add that but if I am out that is okay too. If you wanted it to be spicy you could add a pinch of red pepper flakes at the beginning or end on the top.
with Egg Noodles
To add noodles you would boil until al dente on the side. Fold in 20 minutes before serving, fold together and let soften a little longer. Do the same for gluten free pasta, though that takes less time to cook.
with Frozen Chicken
Now you could make this with medium size breasts right out of the freezer. Crockpot frozen chicken turns out quite well actually and doesn’t really change the cook time as long as they are separated from one another before adding into the Crock Pot.
Tips
This really is a quick crockpot dump meal as you put it all in, turn it on and it will be done when you get home in the evening, those are the best. It’s chocked full of vegetables too which we love in this family. If you’ve only made chicken noodle soup and love it like we do this is a great alternative when you want to change it up a bit.
We make crockpot soup all year long, but really often during the winter months when it’s chilly outside and you’re ready for a warm meal in the evenings.
Add as many vegetables as you like really to this creamy chicken soup, the more the better really in our opinion. Serve with slices of garlic bread and a good meal is ready to be had.
