Description
If you’re searching for a soul-soothing soup that’s both luxurious and simple to make, this Marry Me Chicken Soup Recipe is everything you need.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: cooked pasta, gnocchi, or rice
Instructions
Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add chicken, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is lightly browned. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until the chicken is tender—about 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken, shred it, then return it to the pot. Stir in the cream and parmesan and let simmer gently until thickened. Add the spinach last and cook just until wilted.
Notes
Use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter texture.
Stick with low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
Add the spinach at the end to maintain its color and texture.
And finely shred the chicken so each bite is evenly delicious.
