Here's a heartwarming and comforting “Marry Me Chicken Soup” recipe, inspired by the rich flavors of a creamy, savory chicken soup that's perfect for any cozy occasion. It's so delicious, you may fall in love (lol).
Ingredients:
• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs (or turkey if you have it)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, dice
• 6 cups chicken broth (preferably low-sodium)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
• 1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning
• Garlic powder to taste
• 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup dried tomatoes
How to Prepare
Sauté chicken with olive oil or butter in the soup pan.
Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent.
Simmer the soup: Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring it to a boil.
Stir in the dry spices and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cream, chicken and spinach: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded chicken. Let the soup simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.
Final touches: The soup should have a creamy, velvety texture with a balanced, comforting flavor.
Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with shredded Parmesan, if desired, and garlic bread.
