Ingredients

  • 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
  • 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)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place chicken, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, broth, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the soup.
  4. Stir in uncooked pasta and cook on high for 15–20 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
  5. Add Parmesan and mozzarella, stirring until melted. Stir in cream if using.
  6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with herbs, extra cheese, or croutons.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Add spinach or zucchini for more veggies.
  • Freeze the soup base (without pasta or cheese) for future use.
  • Skip cream for a lighter broth, or use gluten-free pasta if needed.
