Instruction

  • 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).
