Soup Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Additions
- 2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cube the boneless skinless chicken breasts and place them into the crockpot as the base for your soup.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook the soup: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Add pasta: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the uncooked rotini pasta. Cover again to let the pasta cook through and soften.
- Finish with cream and cheese: Reduce the heat to warm, gently stir in the heavy cream, then let the soup sit for 5 minutes to warm through completely.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese and optional parsley for garnish.
Notes
- This soup can be made on high heat for faster cooking or low for deeper flavor development.
- Rotini pasta is recommended, but you can substitute with any small pasta shape, adjusting cooking time as needed.
- For a lighter version, use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add extra broth when reheating if the soup thickens too much.
- Optional garnish of fresh parsley adds a nice herbal note and color contrast.
