Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or use a beef roast for beef crockpot recipes
  • 6 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup frozen green beans
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • 0.5 cup cooked pasta rotini, elbow macaroni etc. stir in during the last 30 minutes of cooking (optional)

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Forks

Method
 

  1. Chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic. If using, cut your beef roast into 2-inch pieces.
  2. Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, diced tomatoes, corn, green beans, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the bottom of your crockpot.
  3. Place the chicken breasts (or beef roast) on top of the vegetables.
  4. Pour the chicken broth (or beef broth if using beef) over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot. Stir well to combine. If adding, stir in the cooked pasta now.
  8. If you added pasta, cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
  9. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning to your liking.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For the best flavor, brown your beef roast in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot. Avoid overcooking chicken to prevent dryness. You can add beans for extra protein and fiber, and spice it up with red pepper flakes or jalapeño. This recipe is naturally gluten-free if pasta is omitted or replaced with gluten-free option. Vegan variations include using vegetable broth and chickpeas or lentils. Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3-4 days in the fridge or 2-3 months in the freezer.
