How do I make chicken soup?

Quick Overview

Making this **Marry Me Chicken Soup** is surprisingly simple! You’ll start by searing some Chicken Breasts to golden perfection, then building a creamy, flavor-packed sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and parmesan. The chicken simmers in this luscious broth until it’s fall-apart tender, and then you’ll stir in some spinach for a touch of freshness. Seriously, it’s that easy. The key is to let the flavors meld together as it simmers, creating that signature richness. It really is quicker than ordering takeout. I promise!

Ingredients

For the Chicken: What are some good
* 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
I always buy organic, free-range chicken if possible – I find it has the best flavor.

For the Soup:
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained
* 1/2 cup chicken broth
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 5 ounces fresh spinach
* Salt and pepper to taste
What is Parmesan and why? I prefer freshly grated for the best flavor, but the pre-grated stuff works in a pinch. Make sure to drain the sun-dried tomatoes really well; you don’t want the soup to be too oily. Sometimes I chop them up a bit smaller, too.

How do I follow

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

First, season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Don’t worry about cooking them all the way through at this point; they’ll finish cooking in the sauce. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. I always make sure the pot is good and hot before adding the chicken – that’s how you get a nice sear!

Step 2: Sauté Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Add the butter to the pot and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic! I always keep a close eye on it and stir frequently.

Step 3: Add Broth and Cream

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. This is where a lot of the flavor comes from, so don’t skip this step! Bring the broth to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until it thickens slightly. I tested this with almond milk and it actually made it even creamier!

Step 4: Simmer Chicken in Sauce

Return the chicken to the pot and nestle it into the sauce. Cover the pot and let the chicken simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until it’s cooked through and tender. Where does the magic happen – the chicken absorbs all the flavor from the sauce.

Step 5: Add Spinach

Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes. I like to add spinach at the very end so it retains its vibrant green color and doesn’t get too spongy.

Step 6: Season and Serve

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. I always give it a good taste test at this point and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve hot and enjoy! I love serving this with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread for dipping. This makes it feel extra special.

What are some of the best chicken seaDon’t overcrowd the pot when searing the chicken. How do I get a golden brown crust? Sear it in batches if necessary. What is the best crust for soup?

Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomato Sautéing: How Watch the garlic carefully! Burnt garlic can ruin the entire dish. Sauté it over low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning. Same with the sun-dried tomatoes – watch that they don’t burn.

Creamy Sauce Perfection: Use high-quality heavy cream for the creamiest, richest sauce. Don’t use milk, it won’t work. Also, don’t boil the sauce after adding the cream – it can cause it to separate. Simmer it gently over low heat.

Parmesan Power: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. The pre-grated stuff is okay in a pinch, but it doesn’t melt as well and doesn’t have the same flavor punch.

Spinach Strategy: Add the spinach at the very end so it retains its vibrant green color and doesn’t get too mushy. If you’re using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the soup.

Spice it up!: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup for a touch of heat. The subtle kick really complements the richness of the sauce.

One time I accidentally overcooked the garlic, and the whole soup tasted bitter. I had to start over! That’s when I learned the importance of watching it closely.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Got leftovers? Here’s how to store and reheat your **Marry Me Chicken Soup**:

Refrigerator Storage: Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors actually meld together even more as it sits, so it’s often even better the next day!

Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, you can freeze the soup for up to 2-3 months. Let it cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or bag. Be sure to label it with the date so you know when it was made.

Reheating: To reheat, simply transfer the soup to a pot and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also reheat it in the microwave, but be sure to stir it every minute or so to ensure it heats evenly.

I usually add a splash of chicken broth when reheating to loosen it up a bit, as the sauce tends to thicken as it sits. I’ve found that it is best not to store the soup for longer than 2-3 months otherwise the taste can change, and become not as flavorful.
