Instructions 

Prep the vegetables

  • Prep the vegetables by slicing the carrots and celery.
  • Dice the onion.
  • Mince the fresh garlic.

Make the soup

  • Begin by placing the chicken, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and jalapeno into an 8-quart slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, cumin, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf.
  • Gently pour the chicken broth over the ingredients, stirring to combine.
  • Cover with the lid and set to cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or on low for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Carefully remove the chicken, let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces before returning it to the slow cooker. Add the pasta, stirring well, and continue cooking for an additional 30 to 60 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  • Serve hot, accompanied by bread or crackers, and consider adding a few drops of hot sauce to each bowl for extra heat.
  • Makes 8+ servings.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Adjust the level of spices to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a clearer broth, skim off any foam that forms during the cooking process.
  • Add the pasta towards the end of cooking to prevent it from becoming too soft.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Consider preparing ingredients the night before for even quicker assembly in the morning.
  • Experiment with different pasta shapes for fun variations on the classic recipe.
