Chicken Parm Soup with Penne Pasta
This recipe wouldn’t be complete without our very favorite DeLallo ingredients!!
If you follow us at all you know we are a HUGE fan of DeLallo Foods. Just such high quality Italian food products, especially their pasta. For this recipe we used their Penne Ziti and the quality is second to none. It’s a noticeable difference, and I’m so proud to represent their products.
We also used my all-time FAVORITE DeLallo product, San Marzano Style Crushed Tomatoes. I cannot tell you how full of flavor these AMAZING tomatoes are. I keep tens of these cans at my house at all times, and I hope to never run out! Absolutely delish and a must-buy.
What’s the best chicken to use?
I used shredded rotisserie chicken in this chicken parmesan soup, so it’s super quick and easy to make.
If you like, you can also cook up some chicken breasts and shred those, or use up leftovers from a Whole Roast Chicken. Thighs and breasts both work great in this soup.
Can you make it ahead of time?
This soup is best served as soon as it’s made. If it sits for too long, the pasta will take on excess moisture and it will become soggy. It will still be delicious though!
If you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days and it can be reheated on the stovetop.
How do you thicken the soup?
This soup comes out pretty thick once the parmesan has been stirred in and it has melted. If you prefer an even thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch and a tablespoon of water together and stir that in.
You shouldn’t need it for this recipe, and wait until the cheese has melted before you do this.
Tips!
- Make the soup in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. This will distribute heat more evenly and the bottom is less likely to catch.
- The pasta should be cooked al dente when you add the chicken in. It will continue to cook after this time.
- Serve this chicken parmesan soup with lots of crusty bread!

Nutrition Information
This soup it delicious except adding the grated parmesan cheese at the end was a mess.. It all clumped together and stuck to the spoon. How can this be avoided?
Try very slowly incorporating it and not adding any more until the cheese has melted in!
