The other night, I was wanting to make a chicken noodle soup with a twist…so, I decide to make a yummy Italian style chicken noodle soup. The result? Fabulous!
Simple. Hearty. Warm. Comforting. Soup.
Shopping List
1 pound of chicken breasts (frozen or defrosted)
1 (28 oz) can of whole peeled tomatoes (I use San Marzano’s)
1 cup of chicken broth
3 tablespoons of Italian seasoning
3 cups of your favorite short-cut pasta (I used shells), uncooked
Parmesan Cheese to garnish
Layer the first 4 ingredients in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, remove the lid and shred your chicken right inside the slow cooker using two forks. Then take your fork and break up your tomatoes inside the slow cooker (so that they’re not whole, they’re broken into pieces). Stir in your uncooked pasta shells too. Cover everything back up, turn the heat to high and cook about 30 more minutes or until the noodles are tender.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with Parmesan Cheese.
A yummy (and simple!) version of Chicken Noodle Soup!

So is this more of a casserole than a soup? I followed the directions but it definitely seems more casserole than soup?

No, it's a soup. It's a thick soup…but most definitely a soup.

1 cup of broth for four adult servings of soup? Something doesn't seem right about that?

It's because of the 28 oz can of tomatoes. That's a lot of liquid!! Also, nothing evaporates when you use the slow cooker, so all of the liquid remains. Enjoy!

I'm new to your blog & so glad I found it! This may seem like a silly question, but what is short cut pasta? Can't wait to try this recipe!

I tried this on Saturday and it was good but a little on the bland side. I'm thinking it was the Italian seasoning I used, what brand do you use?
Mix and Match Mama says
I most likely used McCormick's Italian Seasoning. Sometimes if the bottle is too old, the flavor isn't there either. I would say it's best to replace your bottles every year but I know that's often hard to do.

This sounds delicious! If I use the tomato sauce method instead, what size tomato sauce can should I use and how much chicken stock? Thanks!!
