- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions

- Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
- Add shredded chicken to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Notes
- For a heartier soup, add chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, or spinach.
- Increase the red pepper flakes or add a chopped jalapeño for extra heat.
- For a low-carb option, use coconut milk in place of heavy cream, or swap regular rice for cauliflower rice.
- You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Asiago, Pecorino Romano, or mozzarella.
- Make it vegetarian by using chickpeas or tofu in place of chicken.
