Description

This Marry Me Chicken Soup is a creamy, cozy twist on the viral classic—loaded with tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, Parmesan, and love in every spoonful.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp oil from sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, chopped
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups small pasta (ditalini, elbows, or shells)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes to deepen flavor.
  3. Add chicken and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is fully cooked.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour with a bit of hot broth to create a slurry. Slowly stir into the soup.
  5. Stir in cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
  7. Finish with Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and fully incorporated.

Notes

For best texture, cook pasta separately and add to bowls just before serving. For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk or cashew cream.
