    In 5-quart slow cooker, add onion, bell pepper, garlic, chicken, crushed tomatoes, broth, salt and pepper. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours or on High setting 3 to 4 hours or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Stir in 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper for a little kick.
  • Tip 2
    Orzo pasta works well in this soup because of its small size. Ring pasta or small elbow macaroni would also work as a substitute.
