Why This Recipe is a Keeper
- If you've never tried a Marry Me recipe, then this Marry Me Chicken Soup is a great one to try first!
- Marry Me recipes are known for their creamy sauce, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. The combination is so good, it might just get you a marriage proposal!
- The soup version is extra comforting and great for fall weather. Grab some bread to soak up all the flavorful broth.
- This restaurant-quality soup is easy to make at home and makes enough to feed the whole family.
The Ingredients
Chicken: Grab a pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. No need to brown them first.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes: These are my favorite part of Marry Me Chicken recipes! They have a slightly sweet flavor and usually come packed in oil with garlic. So good!
Pasta: My favorite pasta shape for this soup is ditalini. It's just the right size for soup.
Other Flavors: Chicken stock, cream, and spinach round out the soup, while red pepper flakes, garlic powder, basil, salt, and pepper add plenty of flavor.
How to Make Marry Me Chicken Soup in the Slow Cooker
- Add the onion, chicken, seasonings, sun-dried tomatoes, and broth to the slow cooker.
- Cook on LOW for 6 hours. Shred the chicken.
- Add the spinach, parmesan and cream.
- Stir in the cooked pasta.
Tips & Variations
Pasta Shape: You can use another pasta shape, but I recommend keeping it small. Mini bow ties, small shells, or elbow macaroni work well.
Tomato Swap: You can use a can of petite diced tomatoes instead of sun-dried tomatoes; if so, add a touch more garlic and salt.
Parmesan Rind: If you have a parmesan rind, add it to the soup at the beginning of cooking; it adds so much flavor!
More Vegetables: Add carrots, celery, leeks, or mushrooms for a heartier soup.
How to Serve Marry Me Chicken Soup
Toppings: This Italian-style soup is great topped with Parmesan cheese, freshly ground pepper, and crushed saltine crackers.
Sides: Serve with garlic bread or breadsticks for dipping. A simple green salad is another great option.
Can Pasta be Cooked in a Slow Cooker?
For best results, cook your pasta on the stovetop before adding it to the slow cooker. The slow cooker doesn't get hot enough to cook pasta properly.
How to Store and Reheat
Place the leftovers in airtight containers and place in the fridge for up to four days, or freeze for up to six months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
