My marry me chicken soup is the soup version of the viral marry me chicken recipe that so many people know and love! You’re going to fall head-over-heels for this warm and comforting soup. This dish takes the same flavors that made the pasta version such a hit and transforms them into a cozy, soul-soothing soup perfect for chilly nights. It’s an easy, gluten-free recipe that’s just as irresistible as the original.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, in olive oil, drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 7 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tsp salt, + more to taste
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper
  • 12 oz gluten free shell pasta, or pasta of choice
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, I used rotisserie chicken
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • ¾ cup half & half, or Original Nutpods for dairy free
  • 1 package Boursin cheese, or sub 4 oz cream cheese, or Kite Hill cream cheese for dairy free
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, divided, omit and replace with 1/4 cup nutritional yeast for dairy free

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat.

2. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. Add in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir for 1-2 minutes.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and add in the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, then add in the uncooked pasta. Cook over medium heat until the pasta is al dente. You want it still semi-hard, as it will continue to cook in the broth.

5. Turn heat to medium low and add in the shredded chicken, spinach, half & half, Boursin cheese, and 1/4 cup of the parmesan. Stir for 2-3 minutes until warmed through, the spinach has wilted, and the broth is creamy/cheese has melted.

6. Serve topped with fresh parsley, crushed red pepper and more parmesan, and enjoy!

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.

Cook the pasta separately if meal-prepping to avoid it soaking up all the broth.

For dairy-free, use Nutpods and Kite Hill cream cheese instead of Boursin.

This soup freezes well—leave out pasta and dairy before freezing.

Noodles absorb a lot of broth, so use plenty or cook pasta separately when making ahead.

Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days, storing pasta separately for best texture.

Freeze in a freezer-safe container up to 3 months without pasta and dairy.

Reheat gently on stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of broth or water as needed.
