- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Pasta and Cheese
- 1 cup small pasta shapes (such as ditalini or orzo)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Add Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, onion, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to combine.
- Add Pasta: Add the pasta to the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
- Finish with Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or extra Parmesan.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, cook longer uncovered in the last 30 minutes to reduce liquid.
- Use gluten-free pasta to make the soup gluten-free.
- Replace chicken broth with low sodium broth for a healthier option.
- Adding fresh spinach or kale in the last 10 minutes boosts nutrition and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
