Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot, ensuring an even layer at the bottom.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth over the chicken. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the mixture, then stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Slow cook the soup: Cover the crockpot. Cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and flavors meld.
- Add pasta: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the uncooked rotini pasta. Cover again and continue cooking until the pasta is tender and fully cooked.
- Finish with cream: Reduce heat to the warm setting. Gently stir in the heavy cream to add richness to the soup.
- Allow to warm: Let the soup sit with the lid on for 5 minutes to warm through and thicken slightly.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with a generous sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, reduce the chicken broth quantity slightly or cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes before adding pasta.
- You can substitute rotini pasta with other small pasta shapes like ditalini or elbows if preferred.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, omit the heavy cream and Parmesan, or use plant-based alternatives.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
- Add fresh basil or red pepper flakes for an extra flavor kick.
