Instructions
Creating this Chicken Parm Tomato Soup can be exceptionally easy by following these simple steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest before shredding.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
3. Add Tomato Puree and Broth: Pour in the tomato puree and chicken broth. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
4. Season the Soup: Add oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Shred the Chicken: While the soup simmers, shred the cooked chicken using two forks.
6. Combine Chicken with Soup: Add the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir to incorporate everything evenly.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined, creating a creamy texture.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve Hot: Once the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, it’s time to serve!
