Italian Chicken Soup

The boys enjoyed the bowtie pasta and the marinara-esc broth, oh and the handful of Parmesan cheese that ended up in their bowls. Me? I scooped up extra chicken! Which just so happened to be of the shredded variety made right in the broth.

If you wanted to make this soup even easier, you could take a tip from my make-ahead meal ideas and make the chicken ahead of time and freeze a batch. Then once the broth has simmered, you throw the chicken back into the pot when you add the pasta.

Ok and I’m going to make your life even more easier by admitting I made this in my slow cooker, despite what the image depicts. My slow cooker has been a lifesaver this year— and the large size makes making leftovers a breeze! You could also cook the soup in a large stockpot or soup pot
