Do you use the oven ready, breaded frozen chicken tenders for the chicken parmesan soup?
Yes, that is why this recipe is so easy. Thanks for stopping by our blog!
Do you know the calorie per serving for this, and how much is in a serving?
Thanks for the nutrition info. Also can something be used in place of tomato paste. I don’t have any and want to make this now. I do have tomato sauce, soup, diced tomatoes.
Here is a link with information on how to make tomato paste out of tomato sauce and canned tomatoes.
