Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes to release the flavors.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the cooked chicken to the pot.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly.
- Add spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, you can stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water.
- Great with crusty bread or served over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- You can also use rotisserie chicken to save time.
