Creamy Chicken and Spinach Soup

Shredded chicken and spinach in a creamy garlic broth — a soup that eats like a meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Steps

  1. Soften the onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat, 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the broth, chicken, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Simmer 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Lift the chicken out and shred it with two forks.
  4. Whisk the cream cheese into the hot broth until smooth, then stir in the cream off the boil.
  5. Return the chicken to the pot with the spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Taste for salt and serve hot.
Serve with: parmesan crisps or a green salad.

Stir the cream in off the boil so it stays silky.
