Steps:
- Instructions.
- In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Add chicken; season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl stir together tomatoes, chicken broth, wine, and Italian seasoning. Pour over mixture in cooker. I'll bet you could make this with dry beans also, adding them here and maybe increasing the broth a little.
- Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 31/2 hours. Turn off cooker and stir in beans. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.Unless, of course, you added dry beans at the beginning-then skip this step.
- Using a slotted spoon, move chicken and vegetables to a serving dish, saving the cooking liquid. Drizzle chicken and vegetables with cooking liquid until moist. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many vegetables and chicken to the pot, the soup will be too thick. Add the vegetables and chicken in batches if necessary.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and the chicken to become tender.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will make a delicious and satisfying meal.
