SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PASTA SOUP

Do you ever think of chicken soup as the perfect dish to serve 

for a romantic Valentine's dinner?

I suppose I never have either, but this year, it was

what I decided to make for that man o" mine.

It is full of healthy veggies and a homemade broth

that would soothe your soul....now that's pretty romantic to me.....

the aroma alone will put a smile on your face!

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PASTA SOUP

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

5 medium carrots, peeled and diced

5-6 stalks celery, diced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups low sodium chicken broth

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1 can peas, drained

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt, pepper and chicken rotisserie seasoning, to taste

2 cups cheese ravioli

Chopped fresh parsley

Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker, except for the ravioli.

Cook on low for 6 hours.

Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker, and cut into bite sized pieces, then add back to the slow cooker.

Add in the ravioli and cook for 10 minutes or until they are cooked all the way through.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Discard bay leaves before serving and top with shredded Parmesan cheese. Fantastic served with hot french bread!

I also ended this dinner celebrating romance and love

with homemade Chocolate Fried Pies!
