This Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup delivers all the flavors of chicken parmesan in a warm, spoonable, and comforting dish perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini or elbow macaroni)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and canned crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for maximum flavor.
  4. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pot, then add the pasta. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and fully incorporated into the soup.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

[‘Searing the chicken adds extra depth of flavor.’, ‘Use freshly grated parmesan for the best texture and flavor.’, ‘If storing leftovers, cook pasta separately to avoid sogginess.’, ‘This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.’, ‘Add a splash of chicken broth if the soup thickens too much.’]
