  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Soup:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb chicken breast, cubed

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp paprika

3 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes

½ cup Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil to garnish

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  • Cook the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the pot, season with Italian seasoning and paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  • Simmer the Soup: Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  • Add the Cream & Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh basil. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

    • Vegetarian Version: Skip the chicken and add roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms for a hearty vegetarian soup.

    • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño for a bit of heat.

    • Add More Veggies: Toss in some spinach, kale, or peas for extra nutrition and color.

    • Low-Carb Version: Use vegetable broth and coconut cream for a dairy-free, low-carb option.

  • Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat with a splash of chicken broth or water to adjust the consistency. This soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and reheat on the stovetop.
