Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 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

Pasta

  • 8 oz campanelle pasta (about 3 cups uncooked)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, minced garlic, dried minced onion flakes, Italian seasoning, tomato paste, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and spaghetti sauce into a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir all ingredients together to combine evenly.
  2. Cook Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook the mixture on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. This slow cooking allows the flavors to meld together and tenderizes the chicken thoroughly.
  3. Shred Chicken: When cooking time is complete, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them into pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker.
  4. Add Cheese and Pasta: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and uncooked campanelle pasta to the slow cooker. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
  5. Cook Pasta: Switch the slow cooker to HIGH and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve: Once pasta is cooked, serve the soup hot. For extra flavor, top with mozzarella and ricotta cheeses if desired and accompany with crusty garlic bread.

Notes

  • This soup is incredibly flavorful and comforting, perfect for a cozy meal.
  • Adding mozzarella and ricotta cheeses on top gives a rich, cheesy finish.
  • Serve with crusty garlic bread to make the meal even more satisfying.
  • All ingredients are cooked in the slow cooker, making it a hands-off and easy recipe.
  • If you don’t have campanelle pasta, other small pasta shapes like penne or rotini will work as substitutes.
