Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by cutting chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and washing spinach thoroughly.
- Season chicken pieces with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coating.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
- Brown chicken pieces in the pot, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden exterior, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to the pot, stirring to combine and deglaze the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in heavy cream, stirring gently to create a smooth, creamy base.
- Simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, allowing chicken to cook completely and flavors to meld together.
- Add fresh spinach during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking, stirring until spinach wilts and becomes tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot in bowls, garnishing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Tips
- Choose high-quality chicken breasts for the most tender result - fresh, organic chicken makes a significant difference.
- Don't rush the browning process! Properly searing chicken creates deep, caramelized flavors that elevate the entire soup.
- For extra richness, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
- Add spinach at the very end to maintain its vibrant green color and prevent overcooking.
- Grate fresh Parmesan cheese right before serving for maximum flavor and presentation.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir into the soup during the last few minutes of cooking.
- For a low-carb version, substitute cream of chicken soup with additional heavy cream and a bit of chicken base.
