Here's a delicious recipe for Marry Me Chicken Soup, combining savory flavors with the heartiness of chicken and beans:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cans of butter beans, drained
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- Fresh basil, chopped (to taste)
- Fresh oregano, chopped (to taste)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- Crushed red pepper (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
2. Add Liquids and Beans:
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the drained butter beans and continue to simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld together, for about 10 minutes.
3. Season and Simmer:
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, a pinch of crushed red pepper, black pepper, and salt to taste. Keep the mixture simmering on low heat.
4. IncorporateCream and Chicken:
- Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, and continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through.
5. Add Greens and Herbs:
- Just before serving, add the chopped spinach, fresh basil, and oregano. Cook until the spinach is just wilted, which should take about 2 minutes.
6. Final Adjustments:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, you can thin it with a little more chicken broth or water.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired, and serve warm.
This Marry Me Chicken Soup is creamy, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy meal. Enjoy!
