Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta & Cheese

  • 1 cup uncooked small pasta (ditalini or elbow macaroni)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place chicken, diced onion, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
  2. Cook the Soup Base: Cover and cook the mixture on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and mix well with the soup.
  4. Add Pasta and Cook: Stir in the uncooked pasta and cook on high for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender yet al dente.
  5. Add Cheeses and Cream: Stir in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses until melted and well combined. If using, add the heavy cream or half-and-half and stir to incorporate for a richer texture.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley and extra cheese or croutons if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken for a quicker preparation.
  • Add fresh spinach or diced zucchini to increase vegetable content and nutrients.
  • Freeze the soup base without pasta or cheese for meal prep or future use.
  • Omit the heavy cream for a lighter broth or substitute gluten-free pasta to accommodate dietary needs.
