Chicken Parmesan Meatball Soup

December 4, 2022

  • 1

As the weather cools off at night one thing comes to mind. Soup! I love soup and this recipe is sure to win you over. Even if you’re not a huge soup fan or know someone who prefers something “heartier” this is going to become a new favorite with all the delicious flavors of chicken parmesan in an easy to make soup ideal for cool weather, or to make a comforting meal anytime. 

DELICIOUS chicken parmesan meatball soup createdbydiane.com

This soup begins with delicious chicken meatballs, but if you don’t have ground chicken you can easily use cooked chicken, or pick up a rotisserie chicken, to add to make the meal with what you have or to shorten the cooking time. it’ll be delicious!

This soup is made extra thick, just perfect for soup as a meal! 

There is some cornstarch added to thicken the broth and the addition of small pasta really makes it a meal. But there are so many options. Leave out the pasta if you’re eating low-carb. 

The winner on this is a nice slice of mozzarella cheese browned over the top of the soup before serving, takes just 2 minutes until a hot broiler. Cut the cheese slightly smaller than the rim of the dish and it’ll make for easy clean up.

I used small bowls for serving, the soup is rich tasting and filling. 2 cups of soup is a nice serving. The recipe makes 4 servings. It can easily be multiplied for more servings.

It reheats well, and you can put it in flat leftover containers as it’s so thick it won’t slop around as if it were thin soup. Which everyone liked for leftovers, it makes them easy to reheat and eat.

If you prefer beef, just swap out gound beef for the chicken, you can also use beef broth in place of chicken broth. 

Now, if happen to be in the mood for shrimp, you can use shrimp in this dish in place of the meatballs making it a super fast meal any day of the week!

A vegetarian option for this soup would be sliced mushrooms or white beans.
