Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup

There is nothing better than a big ole’ bowl of soup curled up on the couch watching a movie or catching up with a marathon of your favorite Netflix shows.

With the weather being so crazy lately… cold and snowing one day and then in the high 40s and snow melting the next… it’s hard to figure out what to do with myself from day to day.

So lately I’ve been relying heavily on my slow cooker to fix our meals just in case I decided to head out and do some shopping, or take the baby out for a walk, or whatever when the weather is warmer.

I love my slow cooker just for that reason. It lets me throw everything into one pot and then it just does it’s thing.

Nothing better than not having to worry about what to make for dinner!

Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup

So I decided to make a slow cooker version of one of my favorite pasta dishes… chicken parmesan. There is nothing better then breaded chicken with red sauce, pasta, and cheese. Yum!

I was able to find all the ingredients I needed at my local Wal-Mart on a recent shopping trip (man I feel like I am at the grocery store all.the.time.).

I picked up some Hunt’s tomatoes, fresh bell peppers, onions, and herbs, and a loaf of fresh french bread for dipping. Because we all need something to dip in soup.

Another thing that makes this recipe super easy, is after you cook the chicken in the broth… just take it out and shred it with your hand mixer or stand mixer.

Takes 0.2 seconds to shred this way vs. using two forks which can take forever.

Have you ever tried using your stand/hand mixer to shred your chicken? Seriously best discovery ever.
