Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to the slow cooker.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the chicken pieces and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides. Transfer the cooked chicken to the slow cooker.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots, celery, zucchini, diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Season the soup with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Remember that you can always adjust the seasoning later, so start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Step 7
About 20-30 minutes before serving, turn the slow cooker to high heat (if it was on low) and add the fideo pasta to the soup. Stir gently to incorporate the pasta.
Step 8
Continue cooking on high heat for the remaining 20-30 minutes, until the fideo is al dente and cooked through. Avoid overcooking to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Step 9
Once the cooking time is complete, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Ladle into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
