Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and soup is heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a heartier soup, you can add cooked pasta or rice in step 5.
This soup can be made ahead of time and reheats well.
Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
