Chicken Parmesan Soup

Chicken Parmesan Soup | This delicious meal is ready in under 30 minutes! #recipe #soup

Over the years, I have really fallen in love with chicken parmesan. I used to not like it, but it really has grown on me (much like philly cheesesteak and jalapeno popper and buffalo chicken stuff) - thanks, hubby! Also due to Nick, we have soup night frequently when the weather is cool. I guess he has always loved soup and used to eat it every day when he was little, so we do a lot of soup. I like to vary it up, so the rest of us don't get sick of it.

This particular soup just won out on favorite soup for my 7 year old, Matthew. He has always loved Cheddar Broccoli Soup and no other soup came close to beating it, but this is the soup he now begs me to make again...because it is his absolute favorite. I can't say I blame him...it's ready in under 30 minutes and it's delicious!
