This simple Italian inspired chicken soup comes together in a slow cooker leaving you free to go about your day. Stir in some pasta about a half an hour before it's time to eat and dinner is ready! It will fill your family's bellies and warm them right up. Nobody will have to know how easy it was to make, that can be our little secret!
As the weather cools down, soups become a welcome sight
at the dinner table. Well, they do for me anyway.
My husband doesn't think soup qualifies as a meal. He needs at least a grilled cheese or something to go with it to make it count as a meal.
How do you feel about soup? Do you love it or could you leave it?
If you are a soup lover, or just need some more simple recipes in your arsenal, this is a great recipe to have. It's basically just chop, dump and run.
Your crock pot will cook the broth filled with tender chicken and veggies while you go about your day. When you get home add some pasta and it'll be ready in no time.

We like using a whole wheat rotini in this soup. It adds that little extra bit of fiber.
You can use whatever you like best. Just be sure it is a pasta shape that fits well on your spoon!
MiMi originally shared this recipe with us back in 2017. I thought it was time to update the pictures, printable recipe card and add a video of LD and I putting it together.
We hope you enjoy the refresh and the reminder to make a batch soon!

Shockingly that includes vegetables, fruits and healthy soups. Because it's good for us and I do have jeans to fit into. I mean, priorities, right?!
So on a busy day when we want something flavorful,
healthy and easy this fits the bill. A few minutes of chopping and
prepping and you are off.
Even better, chop and prep the night before. Then all you have to do is wake up, dump everything in the slow cooker and go on about your day.

Before you know it you'll have a hot bowl of soup in your hand and a smile on your face. Just like that!
The best part is the flavors and the pasta are kid friendly too. It is a dinner everyone will love without any fuss!

I thought that was shaved parm on top! Oh yes to this in a slow cooker! Can't wait to try it. Happy weekend cuteness!!
ReplyDeleteI may have snuck a few shavings right off the cutting board too ;-) Doing the soup in the slow cooker makes it so easy! Thanks, Andrea!
DeleteHi Carlee, cooking soup in the slow cooker is my favourite way of cooking it. There is nothing nicer than walking into the house and knowing food is hot and ready to eat. And I think slow cooked soup tastes so much nicer.
ReplyDeletexx
I think so too, it gives you the chance to get that all day simmered flavor without having to worry about burning or stirring! Thanks, Debbie!
DeleteCarlee, this recipe looks perfect! Next week the weather is getting chilly again, and so I will try this! Fix and forget, my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWe were teased with really nice weather today, but we are back to highs in the low 40s next week. That's perfect soup weather, I'll need to make another batch! Thanks, Amy!
DeleteThis soup sounds very comforting and the slow cooker makes it a fuss free recipe! Plus it's healthy. This is a lovely recipe:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Monika!
DeleteI bet this could be cooked in an instant pot too, may be with the chicken precooked. It sounds good. Thanks for visiting Family Joy Blog linkup again.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get on the instant pot bandwagon... the issue is I already have so many kitchen toys and only so much storage!
DeleteHi Carlee, this soup looks and sounds so good! I love making soups in the slow cooker during the winter months. Thanks for sharing at C&C with J&J.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the week.
