How to Make Marry Me Chicken Soup

Step One

The first thing to do is cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step Two

Now, stir in the aromatic ingredients: In the same pot, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir until fragrant.

Step Three

Then add the sundried tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sundried tomatoes and stir well, allowing them to release their flavor into the pot. Pour in the broth: Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring until combined. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat.

Step Four

Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the flavors blend.

Step Five

For a creamy soup: Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the soup is creamy and smooth. Then add the spinach: Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach leaves. It will wilt quickly in the hot soup.

Step Six

Finally, season and serve: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with crusty bread, saltine crackers, or a fresh salad.
