Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 (6-oz) can tomato paste
  • 1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15-oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (14.5-oz) cans chicken broth
  • 1 (24-oz) jar spaghetti sauce
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz campanelle pasta (3 cups uncooked)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients except the pasta in a 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine all the flavors evenly.
  2. Slow Cook the Soup: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to cook thoroughly and the flavors to meld together.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  4. Return and Add Pasta: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and uncooked campanelle pasta.
  5. Cook Pasta: Cook on HIGH for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and fully cooked.
  6. Serve: Stir well before serving. Optionally top with mozzarella or ricotta cheese and serve with crusty garlic bread for a complete meal.

  • This slow cooker soup is incredibly flavorful and comforting, making it perfect for chilly days.
  • For extra cheesy goodness, top the soup with mozzarella or ricotta cheese before serving.
