Method
- To the bowl of a 5-6 quart slow cooker, add chicken, vegetables, tomato sauce, spices, chicken broth, and bay leaves. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Remove chicken, shredding with forks. Set aside. Remove and discard bay leaves.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Alternatively, soup may be pureed in a blender in batches. Stir in parmesan cheese and heavy cream until fully combined.
- Return shredded chicken to the soup along with uncooked pasta. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve with shredded mozzarella and optional parmesan cheese. Use a kitchen torch to melt and lightly brown the cheese, or brown under a broiler in oven-safe bowls.
