Marry Me Chicken Soup is a creamy, comforting twist on the classic Marry Me Chicken dish. It features tender shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian herbs, and parmesan in a rich, velvety broth perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Add chicken breasts and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the pot.
  5. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Add heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  7. Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley and extra parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick version.
  • Substitute cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • Blend part of the soup for a thicker consistency if desired.
  • Add pasta, rice, or white beans for a heartier soup.
  • Freeze leftovers in portions for up to 2 months.
