Soup Base

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika

Liquid Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Additional Flavorings

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the pot. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and paprika. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook gently for 10-15 minutes, ensuring the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. Add the Cream & Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Continue to simmer the soup for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve alongside crusty bread for dipping and enjoy immediately.

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • Use fresh sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for more flavor.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty Italian bread or a side salad.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
