Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Finishing Touches
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, toss in the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot and let it simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors can mingle.
  7. Toss in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired.

Notes

You can substitute chicken for turkey or make it vegan by using chickpeas and vegetable broth. This soup gets better as it sits, so consider making it a day in advance.
