Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

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

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the base: Add the chicken breasts, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth to the crockpot. Stir to combine.

2️⃣ Cook the chicken: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

3️⃣ Shred the chicken: Once done, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.

4️⃣ Add the dairy & pasta: Stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, and uncooked rotini pasta. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or high for 15 minutes, until the pasta is fully cooked.

5️⃣ Prepare the topping: While the pasta cooks, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and sauté until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

6️⃣ Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of crispy bread crumbs. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make it ahead: This soup stores well! Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Thicker soup? Reduce the broth slightly for a richer texture.
  • Pasta alternative: If you prefer, cook the pasta separately and add it when serving to prevent it from absorbing too much liquid.
  • More veggies? Add chopped spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
