Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant.
2. Stir in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 3 minutes to blend the flavors.
3. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the shredded chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until heated through.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer just until the soup is hot. Gradually add the shredded Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
6. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
For extra depth of flavor, use a mix of dark and white chicken meat. Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
