Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the cut chicken pieces to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to heat gently until the cheese melts and the soup is warmed through; do not boil after adding cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely into the soup, about 2 minutes.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • Serve this Tuscan chicken soup with crusty bread for dipping.
  • If you prefer a lower-carb option, omit pasta and increase the amount of vegetables.
