A quick, 15-minute creamy chicken soup featuring sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, and parmesan for a rich, bistro-quality comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and tomatoes soften.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add softened cream cheese cubes one at a time, whisking constantly until completely melted and smooth (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Add the cooked shredded chicken and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove pot from heat and stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted.
  7. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh basil and a crack of black pepper, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time. Ensure cream cheese is softened to prevent clumping. Do not boil after adding dairy to prevent curdling. Soup thickens upon cooling; add broth when reheating.
