Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts Roughly 680g.
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes Roughly 800g.
  • 2 cups chicken broth Low-sodium preferred. 480ml.
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste 30g.
  • 1 yellow onion Diced.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning 15g.
  • 2 cups sourdough bread Cubed for croutons. 100g.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded. 112g.
  • 0.5 cup parmesan shreds Freshly grated. 50g.
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves Chopped. 10g.

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart Slow Cooker Essential for simmering the soup and tenderizing the chicken.
  • 1 Baking Sheet Used for toasting the golden brown garlic croutons.

Method
 

Slow Cooking the Soup
  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth over the meat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. Once tender, use two forks to shred the chicken breasts directly in the pot. Stir to combine the meat with the thick red tomato broth.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sourdough bread with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Immediately top the center with shredded mozzarella so it melts into a gooey pool. Garnish with parmesan shreds, toasted garlic croutons, and chopped fresh basil leaves.

Notes

Tip 1: Grate your mozzarella from a block for the best gooey cheese pull.
Tip 2: Do not add the croutons into the slow cooker; only add them to individual bowls to keep them crispy.
