Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces / 411 g) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil, optional, for garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning as needed, until browned on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  2. Place the diced onion in the same pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken broth, drained diced tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
Finishing
  1. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Serve the soup hot and finish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired.

Notes

For the best texture after freezing, add the heavy cream and Parmesan after thawing and reheating.
