Cooking Instructions
- In 5-quart or larger slow cooker, stir together garlic, bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, chicken, broth, ½ cup cheese, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook on low 7-½ hours or on high 3-½ hours.
- Transfer chicken to cutting board and use forks to coarsely shred; return to slow cooker. Stir in pasta. Cook on high 20-30 minutes longer or until pasta is cooked al dente.
- Stir in butter, if desired. If soup becomes too thick after pasta is cooked, stir in additional broth or water until desired consistency is reached, and warm through.
- Serve garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped basil or parsley.
Notes
The butter stirred in at the end is entirely optional. It adds a few calories, but it also adds a nice richness and mouthfeel to the soup.
