Chicken Parmesan Soup Crock Pot Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this crock pot chicken parmesan soup:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts: clean and trim the fat before adding to the crockpot. You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs if desired.
• Marinara Sauce: use homemade or jarred--any brand will do!
• Tomato Paste: adds extra tomato flavor and adds thickness to your soup.
• Canned Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes: the fire-roasted diced tomatoes add a slightly smoky flavor and depth to your soup.
• Chicken Broth: use regular or low sodium if desired. If using regular, reduce the amount of added salt.
• Rotini Pasta: substitute with any pasta you like, such as broken spaghetti or lasagna noodles, penne, ditalini, even macaroni noodles.
• Parmesan Cheese: freshly shredded parmesan cheese is best - it just melts better.

Substitutions and Variations

• Use a different variety of noodles if you wish! You can use spaghetti, broken lasagna noodles, or rotini.
• Use any color bell pepper instead of green bell pepper.
• You can use any onion variety you would like. I recommend using white, yellow, or sweet onion in this soup.
• Use low-sodium chicken broth or regular chicken broth.
• Use plain diced tomatoes instead of fire roasted. Fire roasted adds some depth and smoky flavor which is so delicious!
• Adjust any seasonings to taste.
• A combination of parmesan and mozzarella may be use.
• Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic to your recipe for a complimentary flavor.
• Make it spicy by adding crushed red pepper flakes-start light handed, you can always add more!
• Other herbs you may consider adding are rosemary, thyme, or oregano.

How To Serve It

• Serve this luscious soup with your favorite toasted garlic bread and breadsticks or topped with crushed crackers.
• Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, basil or chopped chives.
• Use more or less parmesan cheese as you like. Mozzarella cheese can be served on top too.

Meal idea!This soup can be served as a meal in one but if you're looking for a little more, it pairs excellently with a Caesar salad and some bread!

Tips

• Once the noodles are cooked, they will continue to absorb liquid so that additional broth may be needed.
• An optional step, if desired, is to blister your pasta in the microwave. Blistering aids in preventing your noodles from becoming mushy in texture. You can do this by mixing your noodles with a little olive oil and microwaving in 30-second increments until half are blistered - be sure to stir frequently.
• Make this soup even quicker by using shredded rotisserie chicken! If using, add the chicken when you add the noodles to prevent drying it out.
