If you're looking for a comforting and delicious soup recipe, then this creamy chicken and spinach soup is the perfect option. It's easy to make and packed with flavor, making it a great choice for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the cubed chicken breasts and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the chicken broth, heavy cream, chopped spinach, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine, and bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and let the soup cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the spinach is wilted.
Once the soup is finished cooking, ladle it into bowls and serve hot. You can garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh basil or black pepper for some extra flavor.
