Description
A creamy and flavorful chicken soup that is perfect for any occasion, featuring tender chicken thighs, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken thighs and season with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider sautéing some diced onions and garlic in the olive oil before adding the chicken.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a tablespoon of xanthan gum while stirring in the cream to achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve with keto-friendly sides like pork rinds, celery sticks, or cucumber slices for a complete meal.
