Instructions
Creating Marry Me Chicken Soup is an enjoyable experience with these simple steps:
1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
3. Cook Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the pot, then add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
4. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred it using two forks and set it aside.
5. Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream, dried basil, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Return Chicken: Add the shredded chicken back into the soup, along with the chopped spinach. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Each step is crafted to ensure that your Marry Me Chicken Soup is both flavorful and comforting!
