Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast Can substitute with thighs for more flavor.
  • 28 oz Diced Tomatoes Use fresh tomatoes in summer months if available.
  • 1 medium Onion Can substitute with shallots for a milder taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Use fresh for stronger flavor or powder for convenience.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Low-sodium versions are great for controlling salt intake.
  • 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning Can swap with individual dried herbs like oregano and basil.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese.
  • 1 cup Pasta Small shapes like fusilli or shells work well.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Grated or block can be used; reserve fresh for serving.
For the Topping
  • 2 tbsp Butter Can use salted or unsalted based on preference.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.

Equipment

  • Crockpot

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In your crockpot, combine the chicken breast, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Stir gently to ensure the chicken is fully coated with the delicious broth.
  2. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and cream cheese, then stir again to mix everything harmoniously. This will infuse the soup with robust flavor.
  3. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  4. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, allowing it to absorb the flavorful broth.
  5. Add your chosen pasta, cover again, and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes. This will allow the pasta to soften perfectly.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then sauté the breadcrumbs until they turn golden brown.
  7. Dish out the soup into bowls and top with fresh Parmesan and your crispy breadcrumb mixture. Enjoy the rich, cheesy goodness!
