Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cups baby spinach
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
2. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 more minutes.
3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Lower the heat and add heavy cream while stirring. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
5. Add shredded chicken and baby spinach. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until spinach wilts and chicken is heated through.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, optionally garnished with more Parmesan or fresh basil.
Notes
Let the soup simmer gently—don’t boil after adding cream to avoid curdling.
You can thicken the soup with a cornstarch slurry if you want it creamier.
Fire-roasted tomatoes or roasted red peppers can replace sun-dried tomatoes in a pinch.
