To make the soup, add the chicken, artichoke hearts, cauliflower, cream cheese, broth, onion, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, and crushed red pepper to a 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on high for about 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred it using two forks. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and flour until smooth, then stir it into the soup. Add the mozzarella, spinach, and shredded chicken to the soup and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes until the soup thickens and the spinach wilts. Finally, divide the soup among 8 shallow bowls and sprinkle with parsley and chives.
