Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Low-sodium chicken broth
- Canned diced tomatoes
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- Heavy cream
- Fresh or frozen spinach
- Small pasta shapes (like ditalini or orzo)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Start by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. You can leave them whole or cut them into chunks for quicker cooking.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the canned tomatoes (with their juice). Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Give it a gentle stir to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once cooked, take the chicken out and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir until well combined. This will give your soup a rich, creamy texture.
- Add the spinach and uncooked pasta to the crockpot. Stir well, cover, and cook on high for an additional 30-45 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
- Just before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired. Enjoy the cozy comfort!
