Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground chicken to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
  7. If desired, stir in fresh basil just before serving.
