Description
A creamy and comforting Garlic Parmesan Chicken Soup that’s perfect for cozy nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: crusty bread for serving
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
- Once the onion is softened, throw in the minced garlic. Cook it for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Next, add the diced chicken breasts to the pot. Sauté until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- After simmering, add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts completely, about 2-3 minutes.
- Finally, incorporate the chopped kale or spinach. Allow it to wilt for about 2 minutes, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Serve your delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you like.
Notes
For healthier alternatives, swap heavy cream for coconut milk or Greek yogurt. Can also substitute chicken with chickpeas or lentils for a vegan option.
