Chicken Parm Soup is a delightful combination of all your favorite chicken Parmesan goodness, in a warm and comforting bowl of soup.
I have been making this recipe for years. I like to call it an Italian version of French Onion Soup. It has a nice rich broth with tomatoes, onions, basil and chicken. All of the delicious flavors of Chicken parm, but in a soup. And to make it even better, the chicken parmesan soup is poured over a crusty piece of bread that has been toasted with olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese! Yum! And then another piece is placed on top.
Ingredients Needed
- Chicken Breasts
- Diced Tomatoes
- Chicken Broth
- Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Fresh Basil
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Onion
- Garlic
- Baguette
- Parmesan Cheese
Tip
- Make homemade garlic bread to serve with the soup. Slice a baguette about 3/4 inch thick, drizzle with olive oil and toast under the broiler. Then rub each warm, toasted piece of bread with a clove of garlic and sprinkle the bread with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Then put it back under the broiler until the cheese melts.

My husband does not like diced tomatoes. Would this recipe work if I use crushed tomatoes instead? Thank you for all of your great recipes!
