Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked pasta (ditalini, elbow macaroni, or small shells)
  • fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • extra Parmesan cheese, for serving

Equipment

  • Crock Pot or slow cooker
  • cutting board
  • forks (for shredding chicken)
  • Mixing spoon
  • ladle

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your crock pot. Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and marinara sauce. Stir in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender.
  2. Remove cooked chicken from the crock pot. Shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
  3. Stir in heavy cream (or half-and-half), grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Let the cheese melt completely into the soup for a creamy consistency.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, add uncooked pasta directly into the crock pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If the soup thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it.
  5. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh spinach before serving. This soup thickens as it sits — thin it with additional chicken broth if reheating. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
