Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz uncooked rotini pasta

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth into the crockpot. This is the base for your soup, infusing the broth with robust Italian flavors.
  2. Cook Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and the flavors to meld.
  3. Shred and Add Cream: Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, then stir in the freshly shaved parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, and uncooked rotini pasta. Cover again and cook on low for 30 minutes or high for 15 minutes until the pasta is tender.
  4. Prepare the Breadcrumbs: While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the bread crumbs and sauté until golden brown and crispy, adding a crunchy topping for your soup.
  5. Serve with Toppings: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each serving with shredded mozzarella cheese and the toasted bread crumbs. Serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and the delicious crunch.

Notes

  • You can use any short pasta in place of rotini if desired.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the soup will be less creamy.
  • To add more vegetables, diced bell peppers or spinach can be added during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Make sure to sauté the bread crumbs just before serving for maximum crunchiness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking the pasta.
