This creamy Tomato Basil Soup With Chicken is delicious, filling, and comforting. This soup can be easily made in a slow cooker so your whole family can enjoy it.

It is something about the slow cooker cooking in the kitchen that makes everyone want to eat dinner. This makes me feel warm and cozy.

These meals are even more delicious because you can dump everything in the pot, mix it up and then let it cook. This is the best of both. These slow-cooker meals are our favorites, such as Slow-Cooker Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk or Slow-Cooker Yam and Lentil Soup.

Does your family love Tomato Basil Soup? Mine does. Tomato basil soup and grilled cheese sandwiches are favorites in the fall and winter. We sometimes zhuzh the grilled cheese with truffle oil, and it’s seriously the best thing.

Sometimes I make mini truffle-grilled cheese bites to serve as appetizers or part of a cheeseboard when entertaining. This slow cooker tomato basil chicken broth is a variation on the creamy tomato basil soup.

  • Onion, garlic are the base aromatics for this delicious soup.
  • Spices and herbs – The list is short. Red pepper flakes, dried oregano and salt are all you need.
  • Tomatoes I use canned tomatoes for this recipe and all my tomato soup recipes. I use San Marzano chopped tomatoes and canned chopped tomatoes. Can you substitute canned diced tomatoes for fresh tomatoes? I prefer to keep the San Marzano tomato preserves for their extra flavor.
  • The chicken I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
  • Chicken stock – This is the soup’s liquid base. This can be reduced by half or a quarter and served over pasta as a chicken dish with marinara.
  • Cream — just a little to make it creamier
