An expert recipe for the rich and creamy marry me chicken soup, featuring sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Parmesan, and a velvety broth. Ready in 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil or olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed preferred)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

8 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

4 ounces small pasta (about 1 cup)

4 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup heavy cream

5 ounces fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, or to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Sauté the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes in oil over medium-low heat until fragrant.

2. Bloom the tomato paste and spices by cooking them in a bare spot in the pot for ninety seconds.

3. Infuse the broth: Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any fond. Bring to a rolling simmer and reduce for eight to ten minutes.

4. Cook the pasta: Reduce heat to medium. Add the pasta and cook until it is just al dente (about two minutes shy of package instructions).

5. Add chicken and greens: Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and chopped spinach to wilt.

6. Finish the cream: Stir in the softened cream cheese until dissolved, followed by the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and velvety.

7. Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with Kosher salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh parmesan for best results and seamless melting.

For leftovers, add a splash of extra broth when reheating to restore consistency, as the pasta absorbs liquid quickly.

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the broth.
