    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

    How to Make Chicken Parmesan Soup

    Chicken Parmesan Soup Recipe Tips 

    How do you figure out points for recipes? 

    Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe. If you’re using the nutrition info to figure out points it might not be the same as what the points are listed in the notes section. I use the recipe builder to calculate points. Myfitness pal for nutrition info.

    How do I store leftovers?

    Once food has cooled, transfer leftovers into airtight containers. Glass containers are a great choice as they are non-porous and don't absorb odors or stains. If you prefer plastic, make sure it's BPA-free and food-grade.

     Label the containers with the date to keep track of how long the food has been stored. Most leftovers are best consumed within three to four days.

      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.

      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!
