 A Lighter Version of Chicken Parmesan

I have a confession, most of my soups that I make in the slow cooker are a bit broth heavy.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.  I love a good soup broth.  Sometimes I eat all the solids of the soup, just so I can savor the broth all by itself.  However this Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup that I found at Food52 might just change my mind.   In their description they talk about how this soup has all the flavor of a decadent chicken parmesan served over pasta, but that it’s much more waist friendly.

Easy Pasta Cooking Right in the Slow Cooker

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts simmer away in chicken broth with tomatoes, green bell pepper, garlic, onions and herbs.  Later, you simply remove the chicken and shred it, return it to the slow cooker.  Then you add the pasta and cook on high for about 30 minutes.  All easy, peasy.  I had no idea that you could cook pasta in the slow cooker.  I remember all the old recipes would have you cook the pasta separately and then stir it in at the end.  True, you wouldn’t want your pasta in their for the full 7-8 hours, but adding it at the end like this, letting it cook in the flavorful broth is perfect!

    Absolutely delicious! This is a hearty, tasty soup that is easy to put together. I made it a few weeks ago. I’m glad I made a double batch. We both had seconds at dinner and I froze the leftovers. It was just as good from the freezer. I’ll be making this often!

    Oh my – I eat my soup the other way around. The broth first and then the solids. I love soups made in the slow cooker and will be giving this a try.

    This looks like comfort in a pot! I LOVE that the chicken doesn’t have to have 27 things done to it before it ever sees the pot! 😉 Thanks for sharing…stopping by from Wonderful Wednesday! P.S. Love that Pavarotti quote…one of my favorites about food and eating!
