Instructions
Creating Creamy Tuscan Chicken Soup can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside to cool.
2. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits. Bring to a simmer.
4. Shred the Chicken: While the broth is heating, shred the previously cooked chicken into bite-size pieces.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken back into the pot along with heavy cream, Italian seasoning, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach. Stir to combine.
6. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
