Ingredients:  
2 chicken breasts; boneless and skinless
8 c. water
4 T. chicken broth base; heaping
4 celery ribs; diced
3 carrots; diced
1 red bell pepper; diced
2 medium potatoes; peeled and diced
1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes
½ c. fresh Italian parsley

1 T. dried Italian seasoning (Chef Paul's pasta seasoning is our favorite)
To taste: salt and pepper
½ lb. ditalini pasta; cooked al dente
Shredded asiago or parmesan cheese for serving
Directions:
Directions:
1. In large slow cooker, add chicken breast, water, soup base, celery, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes with juices, garlic, parsley, Italian seasonings and 2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
2. Cook on high for 6 hours; remove chicken breasts and shred. Place back in soup and cook an additional 2 hours.
3. After 8 hours, use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes. I take a straining spoon and pull some from the cooker and mash in a separate bowl. Then stir back into soup to give it a slightly thicker texture.
4. Add ditalini pasta to the bottom of bowls for serving and spoon soup over the top. Add salt and pepper to taste with a healthy dose of parmesan cheese on top.

Personal Notes:
This is a pretty labor-intensive soup, but it is so worth it. It is as close to the Mama's Chicken Sicilian soup that we have ordered at Carraba's as we have found. I will make it for Em at college and freeze it for her to have whenever she needs a homecooked meal that she doesn't have to actually cook herself!
