Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 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
Pasta and Cheese
- 2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the cubed chicken breasts into the crockpot to start building the soup’s base.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the mixture, then stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook the Soup: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Add Pasta: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the uncooked rotini pasta to the soup, cover again, and continue cooking until the pasta is tender.
- Finish with Cream: Reduce the heat to the warm setting, and gently stir in the heavy cream to add a rich and creamy texture to the soup.
- Let it Warm Through: Allow the soup to sit for 5 minutes so all flavors integrate and the soup is heated through uniformly.
- Serve: Serve the soup hot with a generous sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese on top and garnish optionally with chopped parsley for added freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the soup will be less creamy.
- Feel free to add fresh or dried parsley as garnish for enhanced flavor and presentation.
- This soup can be made ahead and reheated; pasta may absorb some broth, so add a little extra chicken broth when reheating.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute rotini pasta with gluten-free pasta.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
