Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chopped kale or spinach
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms optional
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil and grated Parmesan for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring to a simmer and add the cooked chicken back to the pot. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cream and chopped kale or spinach. Cook until greens are wilted, about 3–5 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or coconut milk.
Add cooked pasta or rice for a heartier meal.
Use fresh herbs if available for brighter flavor.
This soup reheats well and tastes even better the next day.
