Creating Marry Me Chicken Soup is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 7-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Deglaze the Pot: Pour in a bit of the chicken broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
4. Add Broth: Pour in the remaining chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
5. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the pot, adding thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
6. Creamy Addition: After 15 minutes, stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to mix thoroughly with the broth, giving it a rich flavor.
7. Add Spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
8. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
9. Final Seasoning: Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to taste.
10. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
