Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Chicken and Dairy

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a large soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent, forming the flavor base of the soup.
  3. Add tomatoes and seasoning: Stir in the diced tomatoes along with Italian seasoning, letting the mixture simmer gently for 3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  4. Add broth and simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, increasing heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil. Then reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to develop depth in the broth.
  5. Add shredded chicken: Incorporate the cooked shredded chicken into the soup and allow it to cook for another 5 minutes so the meat heats through and absorbs the flavors.
  6. Stir in heavy cream: Pour the heavy cream into the soup and continue to simmer until it’s heated through, creating a rich, creamy texture.
  7. Add Parmesan cheese: Gradually add the shredded Parmesan cheese while stirring constantly until it melts completely and the soup becomes smooth and velvety.
  8. Season and serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken to save time.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for heavy cream, but the soup will be less rich.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in before adding the cheese.
  • Serve with crusty bread or garlic bread for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
