Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Heat through gently, but do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, which takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving your hearty chicken soup.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the simmering broth before adding the cream.
  • Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make this an even quicker weeknight chicken soup.
  • This recipe is excellent for using up leftover chicken breast.
