I think the flavors have even more time to blend. We use a thermos to pack the soup in and keeps it nice and hot until ready to eat.
Head on over to Amazon where you will find small thermos containers on sale for as low as $10. Don’t skimp on the thermos.
Those plastic ones do not work well. Get a nice thermos on sale and it will last you for years.

My noodles turned to MUSH. I was so disappointed because the broth and rest was delicious, but after putting the noodles in they all just got mushy and had a very starchy taste, making the whole thing inedible. I had to throw it out.
I will try again, but cook my noodles separately, place them in a serving bowl and pour the soup mixture over it.
Any ideas what went wrong?
I’m so sorry that happened Joy! I’m thinking that your crock pot runs hotter than mine and that the noodles just got overcooked.
Do you drain the tomato’s ?
I do not drain the tomatoes.
Very nice
Very good and very hearty soup. Will definitely make again?
Love love love this recipe!
Being a widower I’m always on the lookout for easy, tasty recipes. This one is a winner. I froze individual servings without pasta. I unfreeze these packets, add a little broth, some egg noodles and have a tasty, filling meal when combined with a corn muffin!
Thanks from a guy who needs all the help he can get in the kitchen!
This recipe was so easy and good! Down hone comfort food! I made it ahead along time and froze it to bring out for a cool day. It was perfect! Great flavor!
My family and I love this recipe. I use egg noodles instead of rotini but it is so good!
Hi. I’m Sicilian and just saw this recipe. It is very similar to my Greatgrandmother who was born in 1880 in Palermo. I remember helping her make it when I was 10. Even at the age of 85 you would still find her cooking up a storm. Since there were no grocery stores when she,my Grandmother and my Mom had to use what was available on our Olive farm. Once a week we would meet up with the other farmers and each would share with the others. We’d give our Olive Oil and swap for Parmesano Reggiano Cheese or other things we needed. Reading about you and this recipe brought back so many incredible memories. We still own our farm. I’ve got 6 kids between 39 and 49 years old who also were born there. Before Covid 19, we’d make sure one of us was on the farm. Our kids who are all working for Doctors without Borders have been stranded in foreign countries all over the world. There’s plenty of work in each country due to Covid19. They used to always come home at Christmas, my husband and my birthdays and spend at least days with us. It’s hard on us not being able to see them in person and hug them. Since each of them loves to cook especially using a crock pot I’ll be sharing your awesome site. Saving money and yet the food tastes great, is exactly what our familia needs. Grazie for you sharing all the tips and recipes. God bless Robin Love in Houston Texas.
Thank you!
I love your receipes
Thank you!
How much diced tomatoes? Doesn’t say what size can
Easy is always for me 🙂 In a couple months it will be fall again (my favorite time of year) and time for soups! Tho at least with the crockpot you won’t be heating up the house if you were to make it in the middle of summer.
I will definitely be trying this, we like homemade chicken noodle soup and this sounds like a great one to try! Perfect for when they are back to school with all the sports and fun stuff that makes life crazy.
Just found your recipe for Italian chicken soup on you web site.
