Instructions

1-First Steps: Getting Ready Start by prepping your ingredients to make the process smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season it lightly, then chop your veggies and measure everything out. This Marry Me Tuscan Chicken Soup comes together easily with a little planning, taking about 10 to 15 minutes.

2-Browning the Chicken: Heat the oil in a pot and brown the chicken for flavor. This step, which takes 6 to 8 minutes, helps lock in the juices and builds a tasty base for your soup.

3-Sautéing the Aromatics: Next, cook the onions, garlic, and other veggies until they soften. This adds depth and aroma, enhancing the overall Tuscan feel of the Marry Me Tuscan Chicken Soup.

4-Simmering the Soup: Add the broth and let everything simmer for 30 to 35 minutes. This is where the flavors meld, making the soup hearty and comforting.

5-Adding Cream and Finishing Touches: Stir in the cream, cheese, and spinach at the end for creaminess and color. Simmer briefly to wilt the greens without overcooking.
