Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Minced garlic
  • Diced onions
  • Chicken broth
  • Fettuccine or penne pasta (or any small pasta like ditalini or orzo)
  • Heavy cream
  • Alfredo sauce
  • Fresh spinach
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Italian seasoning or parsley (optional)
  • Carrots (optional)
  • Celery (optional)
  • Broccoli (optional)
  • Half-and-half (optional)
  • Almond milk (optional)
  • Pecorino Romano cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cooking the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sauté them in a large pot over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and let it rest before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add a bit more olive oil or butter if needed. Sauté minced garlic and diced onions until they are fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add your chosen pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in Cream and Alfredo Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Alfredo sauce. Mix well until the soup is creamy and heated through.
  5. Combine Chicken and Spinach: Fold in the shredded chicken and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt into the soup. Season with salt, pepper, and any other herbs you like, such as Italian seasoning or parsley.
  6. Final Touches: Remove from heat and sprinkle in freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and well incorporated into the soup.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired. Enjoy your warm and comforting Chicken Alfredo Soup!
