Ingredients
Scale
2 cups shredded chicken breast – Pre-cooked or rotisserie works great.
4 cups chicken broth – Low-sodium recommended for better control of flavor.
1 cup heavy cream – Provides the signature creamy texture.
2 cups spinach – Fresh, washed, and ready to go.
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes – Julienne cut, oil-drained.
4 cloves garlic – Minced for a bold, aromatic base.
1 medium onion – Finely chopped.
2 tbsp olive oil – For sautéing the aromatics.
1 tbsp Italian seasoning – A blend of dried herbs to enhance flavor.
Instructions
Here’s how to put it all together:
-
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
-
- Build the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the shredded chicken. Turn up the heat until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
-
- Add the Creamy Elements: Lower the heat to medium-low, then stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the soup begins to thicken slightly.
-
- Finish with Greens and Herbs: Add the spinach and Italian seasoning. Stir gently until the spinach wilts and all ingredients are well combined.
-
- Taste and Adjust: Check for seasoning and add salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
