Marry Me Chicken Soup
Description
This soup starts by sautéing onion and softened sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil to develop a flavorful base, enhanced with minced garlic. Chicken broth and heavy cream are added along with cream cheese and Parmesan, stirred until fully melted producing a rich, creamy broth. The orecchiette pasta cooks directly in the soup, absorbing the flavors while thickening the broth slightly.
Rotisserie chicken is stirred in near the end, adding cooked protein already tender and flavorful. Baby spinach is added last to wilt gently without losing its vibrant color and texture. The soup includes seasoning of salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
Serve hot garnished with extra Parmesan. This hearty, creamy soup is convenient for using rotisserie chicken and provides balanced textures from smooth broth, tender pasta, and soft chicken.
