Chicken Parmesan Soup - this soup puts all the other soups out there to shame!
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!

Yes it is different depending on what type of chicken you use and will change the smart point value.

Looks delicious. I want to make this. In the ingredients you first say breaded chicken breast. Do you mean like a Tyson breaded chicken patty (frozen) and if so wouldn’t that make it more points. I noticed it initially says 8 serving for 4 SP’s then at the end it says 6 SP’s for 8 servings. Is this dependent on what kind of chicken you decide to use. It said you could use breaded chicken or chicken breasts. I would think that breaded chicken would raise the Smart Points. TYIA. I hope you reply. I really want to make this.

I stated how many servings the recipe makes in the notes section. Please divide out the soup equally however you like as serving sizes can change depending on how much you want to eat of it.

How big is a serving of this? A cup?

Jenny says
ALso the amount of chicken broth is missing.
Jenna says
Sorry about that, fixed!
Jenny says
I see in the recipe it calls to add canned tomatoes but it is not included in the ingredients list. Otherwise would love to make this recipe!
Jenna says
Sorry, I updated the ingredients.
