Indulge in Marry Me Chicken Soup

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables and Chicken

1. Heat Oil
   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
2. Add Garlic
   Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
3. Cook the Chicken
   Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden.

Step 2: Add the Herbs and Broth

1. Season with Herbs and Add Tomatoes
   Add the thyme, basil, and red pepper flakes to the pot, stirring to coat the chicken and onions in the spices. Then, add the sun-dried tomatoes, letting them cook for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.
2. Pour in Broth
   Add the chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a simmer.

Step 3: Add Cream and Parmesan

1. Simmer and Add Cream
   Once the soup is simmering, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt into the broth, creating a rich, creamy base.
2. Add Spinach
   Add the chopped spinach to the pot, stirring until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

1. Taste and Adjust
   Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
2. Garnish and Serve
   Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with fresh basil or parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
