Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds Chicken breast
  • 3 large Carrots (approx 2 ½ cups)
  • 3 stalks Celery (approx 2 cups)
  • ½ large Onion (approx ¾ cup)
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Thyme
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 8 cups Chicken stock low sodium
  • 6 ounces Pasta dried long like linguine, fettucine, spaghetti
  • extra Salt to taste
  • extra Pepper to taste
  • Parsley fresh, to serve

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Slow Cooker
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Place everything except the pasta into the slow cooker: chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and chicken stock. Stir everything gently to combine.
  2. Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for approximately 7 hours. The goal is for the chicken to become tender enough to be easily shredded.
  3. Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken and transfer it to a plate or chopping board. This is the moment to shine—use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, ensuring a perfect texture for your soup.
  4. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker, mixing it well with the broth and vegetables.
  5. Break the dried pasta into thirds to shorten the pieces, making it easier to mix into the soup. Stir the pasta into the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
  6. Cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the pasta reaches your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as necessary. You might want to add more salt or pepper to suit your taste.
  8. Once ready, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
  9. Serve immediately, and watch your loved ones enjoy every spoonful of warmth!

Notes

Tip 1: You can also use chicken thigh instead of breast. Make sure to remove the skin and any excess fat.
Tip 2: Different pasta will take different lengths of time to cook. The thinner the pasta, the quicker it will be.
