Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 2: Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Seasonings

Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes to release flavor.

Optional: Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor base.

Step 3: Build the Soup

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in shredded chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes until heated through.

Step 4: Make It Creamy

Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Let it simmer gently (don’t boil) until everything is creamy and blended.

Step 5: Finish with Spinach

Add fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Use Pre-Cooked Chicken – Rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken works great for speed.

Low Heat for Cream – To avoid curdling, add dairy on low heat only.

Don’t Skip the Sun-Drieds – They’re key to that classic Marry Me flavor!

Add Pasta or Rice – To bulk it up into a full meal-in-a-bowl.
