A comforting, creamy chicken soup rich with garlic, parmesan, and fresh herbs, perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cooked and shredded
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil, chopped for garnish
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Cook chicken in boiling water with a pinch of salt until fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes). Shred and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring until fragrant and softened (about 3 minutes).
  3. Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using) to bloom the spices.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes to infuse flavor.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Stir in the shredded chicken and let it warm through (about 3 minutes).
  8. Gradually add grated parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Ladle into bowls and top with fresh basil. Serve warm.

Notes

[‘Take your time to sauté the onions and garlic properly—it builds the foundation of flavor.’, ‘Use freshly grated parmesan for better melting and flavor.’, ‘Simmer gently when adding cream to prevent curdling.’, “Taste as you go to balance flavors; a squeeze of lemon can brighten the soup if it’s too rich.”]
