What Kind of Pasta Works Best in Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup?

Ingredients for the Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How To Make the Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup

Step 1: Build the Base

Add chicken breasts to the crockpot along with diced onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and all the seasonings. Stir to combine.

Step 2: Let It Simmer

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and easy to shred.

Step 3: Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return it to the pot and give it a good stir.

Step 4: Add Pasta and Cheese

Add the uncooked rotini pasta and Parmesan cheese. Stir, cover, and cook on high for 20-30 more minutes until the pasta is tender.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded mozzarella. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with more mozzarella or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Serving and Storing Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup

Serve this soup piping hot with a chunk of garlic bread or a crisp green salad. It makes for an ideal dinner on chilly nights or lazy weekends.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months, but be aware that the texture of the pasta might soften more when reheated.
