FAQs

Can I freeze Crockpot Chicken Parmesan Soup?

Yes, you can freeze the soup in airtight containers for up to 2 months. It’s best to add the pasta fresh when reheating, as cooked pasta can become mushy after freezing.

What can I substitute for heavy cream?

You can use half-and-half or whole milk with a tablespoon of butter melted in it as a lighter alternative, though the soup will be less rich and creamy.
