A creamy and comforting Marry Me Chicken Soup featuring tender shredded rotisserie chicken, rotini pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh baby spinach in a flavorful tomato cream broth, ready in just 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, at room temperature
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Saute aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until well combined with the onions and garlic.
  2. Cook pasta: Slowly pour in the chicken broth and increase the heat to reach a low boil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the rotini pasta and cook until the noodles are tender, about 9 to 10 minutes.
  3. Make creamy sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Wait for 3 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Add chicken and seasonings: Mix in the shredded rotisserie chicken, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season the soup with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  5. Wilt spinach: Add the fresh baby spinach to the soup and heat just until the spinach has wilted, stirring gently.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty Marry Me Chicken Soup.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the soup will be less creamy.
  • Use low sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness and adjust seasoning accordingly.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add deeper flavor; drain well before adding.
  • The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop to prevent the cream from curdling.
