Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken fillets
  • 8 ounces pasta (Mafaldine or your favorite)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3.5 ounces spinach
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Grate the Parmesan cheese, dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves to have all ingredients ready before cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the unsalted butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing them gently for about 3 minutes until fragrant and softened. Stir in the Italian seasoning to infuse flavor.
  3. Simmer Chicken: Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the chicken fillets, cover the pot, and reduce heat to simmer. Let it cook for 12 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
  4. Cook Pasta: Remove the chicken fillets from the pot onto a clean plate. Add the pasta to the broth, cover, and cook it for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so it remains al dente.
  5. Shred Chicken: While the pasta cooks, shred the cooked chicken using two forks by pulling it apart into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Finish Soup: When the pasta is almost done, pour in the heavy cream and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add the spinach and simmer for about 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  7. Combine and Season: Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot. Season with freshly ground black pepper and taste to adjust salt if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Chicken Alfredo Soup!

Notes

  • You can substitute Mafaldine pasta with fettuccine, penne, or any pasta of your choice.
  • For a lighter soup, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the texture will be less rich.
  • If you prefer, use rotisserie chicken to save cooking time.
  • Fresh spinach can be replaced with kale or Swiss chard for a different green boost.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently to avoid curdling the cream.
