Why You Will Like Chicken Parmesan Soup
It’s starting to get cold out and that makes me want some soup! I’ve got plenty of soup recipes on this site. Just do a search for soup in the upper right hand corner of this page and you will find plenty of them.
Some notes about this chicken parmesan soup. The noodles in this soup absorb a lot of the liquid so if it looks too thick like a stew then add in some more broth,water,or tomato juice.
If you’re vegan or vegetarian you can use the Gardenin chicken nuggets instead of cooked chicken and use some Daiya mozzarella cheese. You can use any type of breaded chicken you want to at the supermarket or just plain old shredded chicken (which would probably be healthier anyway. Watch the video to learn how to make the recipe!
Ingredients Needed for Chicken Parmesan Soup
- Extra-virgin olive oil –Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin,cold-pressed,and unfiltered for the highest quality.
- Onion,
- Garlic,minced –Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
- Crushed red pepper flakes– are small pieces of dried hot peppers,typically made from cayenne,that are crushed or ground into small flakes.
- Diced or crushed tomatoes – When purchasing canned tomatoes,it is important to read the label and choose a product with no added salt or sugar if you are looking for a healthier option.
- Low-sodium chicken broth–I always look for reduced sodium and reduced fat chicken stock.
- Penne
- Breaded chicken (cooked and cut into 1″pieces) or cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
- Part-skim mozzarella cheeses
- Parmesan cheese is a hard,granular cheese that originated in Italy. It is typically made from cow’s milk and has a sharp,nutty flavor. Parmesan cheese is often grated and used as a topping for pasta dishes,salads,and other foods.
- Parsley
- kosher salt and Freshly ground black pepper –to taste
