I love food. I love reading about it, talking about it, watching cooking shows, cooking and, of course, eating. I am constantly trying new recipes or new versions of old recipes. However, I have always been terrible at writing any of my recipes down. Therefore, my goal is to use this blog to record recipes . . . finally.

Italian Chicken Soup
I love soup and I am so glad the weather has cooled down enough to enjoy soup for dinner. Tonight I needed an easy soup that I could throw in the slow cooker. Sadly I just threw some traditional chicken soup ingredients and tomatoes in the crock pot and truly enjoyed the result!
This soup serves 6 easily.
2 Cups Water
1 14oz Can of Petite Diced Tomatoes
4 Cups Chicken Broth or Stock
2-3 Carrots, peeled and sliced
2-3 Stalks of Celery, sliced
2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Tsp Dried Thyme
2 Tbsps Tomato Paste
1/2 lb Pasta, any kind (I love Filini)
Grated Parmesan Locatelli Cheese, for topping (optional)
Place all ingredients except tomato paste and pasta in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours. With about an hour remaining, stir in the tomato paste and shred the chicken with forks. Cook the pasta to al dente, drain and add to the pasta just before serving. Serve with salt and pepper and cheese to taste.
