Ingredients
Scale
For the Soup:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil to garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breast to the pot. Season with Italian seasoning and paprika, then cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through.
- Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook gently for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Add the Cream & Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the soup to thicken slightly and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot with crusty bread for an extra comforting touch.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version but the soup will be less creamy.
- For more intense flavor, toast the sun-dried tomatoes slightly before adding them to the soup.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be gently reheated on the stovetop.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
