6ouncesdried long pastalike linguine, fettucine, spaghetti
extra salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley to serve
Instructions
Place everything except the pasta into the slow cooker - chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and chicken stock.
Cook on low for 7 hours (or until the chicken can be easily shredded).
Remove chicken and transfer to a plate or chopping board. Use two forks to shred apart the meat then return it to the slow cooker.
Break the pasta into thirds so the pieces are shorter and stir it into the soup. Place the lid back on and cook for another 20-30 minutes, until pasta is cooked. (notes 2).
Taste and add seasoning to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can also use chicken thigh. Make sure to remove the skin and any excess fat.
Different pasta will take different lengths of time to cook. The thinner the pasta the quicker it will be.
