Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed Use boneless, skinless chicken breast.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale Can use either for added nutrients.
  • Parmesan cheese for serving Grate fresh for the best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the pot, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until browned.
  3. Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and add the fresh spinach or kale, cooking until the greens are wilted, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  8. Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Can easily be made ahead of time. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For presentation, serve in rustic bowls and pair with crusty bread.
