Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2–3 chicken breasts or thighs (about 1.5 lbs)

Liquids & Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings & Herbs

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta

  • 1 cup small pasta (such as small shells or rotini)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Chop the onions and mince the garlic, then add them to the crock pot along with the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will form the flavorful foundation of the soup.
  2. Add the Chicken: Place raw chicken breasts or thighs directly into the crock pot, allowing them to cook slowly and infuse the broth with savory flavor.
  3. Simmer Slow and Low: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for about 6 hours or on high for approximately 3 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the crock pot, shred it with forks, then stir the shredded chicken back into the soup to distribute evenly.
  5. Add Pasta and Cream: Stir in your choice of small pasta, then pour in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese melts and the soup develops a velvety texture.
  6. Finish Cooking: Let the soup cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the pasta is al dente — tender yet firm to the bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh grated parmesan cheese for a sharper, creamier flavor compared to pre-grated options.
  • Add pasta during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Adjust salt and pepper at the end of cooking, especially after adding cream and cheese.
  • Choose chicken thighs for juicier meat or add a splash of broth if the soup appears dry.
  • Let the soup rest for a few minutes after cooking to thicken before serving.
