Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup

February 2, 2014 by Katie Leave a Comment

After taking last week off for my birthday, Slow Cooker Sunday is back with a “souper” recipe for the big game!

I’ve have this recipe pinned for quite some time now.  Being such a big fan of chicken parmesan, it intrigued me.  I wasn’t quite sure how it would turn out though…could it really taste like my childhood favorite dish??

I have to say that I was surprised at how much I liked this soup.  While it wasn’t exactly like eating chicken parmesan (I missed the ooey-gooey mozzarella on top), the flavors were all there.  The broth was rich and the chicken was tender.  It was easy to make too, hardly any prep work.  I had all of the ingredients in the house already (for my version), so there was no need to run to the store.  For my version, I basically just used celery instead of green pepper, swapped the type of pasta, and changed the amounts of some ingredients up a little bit.  I really liked the way it came out.  This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Start with the prep…

  • Mince up 4 cloves of garlic and chop 1 small onion.

image

  • Add the garlic and onion to your slow cooker.

image

  • Chop 3 stalks of celery.

image

image

  • Place the celery in the slow cooker.
  • Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth.

image

image

  • Add 1¼ cups crushed tomato.

image

  • Chiffonade some fresh basil and chop some fresh oregano.

image

  • Add both to the slow cooker.

image

  • Sprinkle in ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese.

image

  • Finish with ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flake.

image

  • Stir to combine everything.

image

  • Place 3 large chicken breasts in the broth.  (I used approximately 1.5 pounds of frozen breasts.)

image

  • Cover and cook on high for 3½ hours.

image

image

image

  • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker.

image

  • Shred the meat using two forks.

image

  • Add the chicken back to the slow cooker.

image

  • Break up several sheets of lasagna noodles.

image

  • Add the broken pasta to the slow cooker.

image

  • Stir, making sure the pasta is completely submerged in the broth.

image

  • Cover and cook on high for 30 more minutes.

image

image

Serve immediately.  (Note: If you are reheating leftovers of this soup, you will probably need to add a little more chicken broth.  The pasta will absorb it while it sits in the fridge.)

Garnish the soup with some more Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
