Indulge in the rich and flavorful Creamy Marry Me Tuscan Chicken Soup, a delightful combination of tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and a creamy sauce that promises warmth and satisfaction with every spoonful.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1–1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Soup:

  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • ¼ cup diced sundried tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
  • 6–8 cups chicken broth
  • 6 oz pasta (such as Italian small shells)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½–1 cup grated parmesan reggiano cheese
  • 2 ½–3 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken, 1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add onions, carrots, celery, sundried tomatoes, and garlic to the pot. Cook until translucent.
  3. Add Flour and Broth: Sprinkle flour, stir well, then gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth.
  4. Cook Pasta: Add pasta, remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and pasta is al dente.
  5. Finish the Soup: Stir in cream, spinach, and parmesan cheese. Simmer for additional 5 minutes.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Start with 6 cups of broth for a thick consistency; adjust later if desired.
  • Use tomato paste for a tomato flavor, omit for a creamy soup.
  • Be cautious with pre-cooked chicken to avoid overcooking.
  • Cook pasta separately if concerned about mushiness.
  • Add extra broth when reheating to thin out the soup.
  • Flour thickens soup; cream cheese can be a substitute.
  • Swap cream with half and half, milk, coconut milk, or cream cheese.
  • For slow cooker, cook all ingredients except pasta, cream, spinach, and cheese, then add before serving.
