Ingredients

Essential Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Dice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small pieces. Season them with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and prepare any optional vegetables such as mushrooms, carrots, and spinach. Add these vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed chicken and vegetables into a large pot. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, and optional white wine if using. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary for the best flavor.
  • Optional white wine enhances the depth of flavor but can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Adding freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving adds a subtle nutty richness.
  • Feel free to customize the soup with your favorite vegetables or omit cream for a lighter version.
  • This soup reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
