  2. Stir in 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. Add 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken to the pot, stirring gently. Let it warm through for about 5 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat, then stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, mixing until completely combined and smooth.
  6. Gradually sprinkle in 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, and finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan on top.
