Description
This Garlic Parmesan Chicken Soup is a creamy, cozy easy dinner packed with tender chicken, soft potatoes, garlic, and rich Parmesan cheese. It is one of my favorite comfort food ideas for a quick dinner, easy recipe night, and warm family meal when I need simple food ideas that still taste special.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
5. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
6. Stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream, then heat gently for 3 to 4 minutes.
7. Add the Parmesan cheese a little at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Do not boil the soup after adding the cream and Parmesan, or the broth can turn grainy instead of smooth and creamy.
