If you love the rich, creamy flavors of the viral Marry Me Chicken, you’re going to fall hard for this Marry Me Chicken Soup. It’s warm, cozy, and packed with tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and a creamy broth that feels indulgent but is still easy enough for busy weeknights.
Heat a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the butter and melt.
Add in the diced chicken and onions. Season it with salt and pepper. Saute for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on both sides.
Add in the garlic and cook for about 30-60 seconds until you can smell the garlic.
Add in the sun dried tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring often, until the tomato paste is slightly darkened in color (approximately 2-3 minutes).
Stir in the chicken broth, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Stir in the pasta shells. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to al dente (about 10-12 minutes).
Add in the chopped spinach, heavy cream and the grated parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted and cream is heated through.
Serve warm topped with more parmesan cheese (if desired) and enjoy!
