1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent.

2. Transfer sautéed ingredients to the crockpot. Add chicken breasts, tomato sauce, chicken broth, oregano, and basil.

3. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, until chicken is tender.

4. Remove chicken and shred before returning to crockpot. Stir in pasta and Parmesan cheese.

5. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Cook an additional 20 minutes until pasta is tender.

6. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired.

For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes during Step 2.

Storing the soup overnight intensifies flavors as they marry together.

For added texture, toast French bread slices until crisp and serve alongside.
