Crock pot chicken, sausage and tomato soup

Super easy, very few ingredients. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out wonderfully. I was thinking of adding more chicken brother and a little less pasta sauce, but Husband said it was perfect just the way it was. You can serve it over pasta, I suppose, but we just ate it as soup with some crusty French bread and a side salad.

3 chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
4 chicken sausages cut into 1/2 inch pieces (we get them from Costco)
1 jar of pasta sauce (I used the TJ no salt added sauce to lower the sodium)
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
shredded/grated Parmesan cheese to taste

In the crock pot, combine all of the ingredients (minus the cheese). Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Top with cheese. Voila!
