Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup uncooked pasta (such as rotini or penne)
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Chicken Soup with Pasta and Spinach is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pot and set aside to cool.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits for added flavor.
4. Shred the Chicken: While the broth is heating, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
5. Cook the Pasta: Add the uncooked pasta to the pot and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
6. Stir in Cream and Spinach: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
7. Season the Soup: Add dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
8. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

These steps will guide you in effortlessly creating this wonderful soup that is sure to please everyone.
