Marry Me Chicken Soup

Careful—this Marry Me Chicken Soup has a reputation. It’s creamy, comforting, and known to make people say, “I’d marry whoever made this!”

Now I taste tested as I went and added a little more of what I think it needed. Take your time with this soup and put a little love in it. 

Here is what you need:

2 chicken breasts

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 onion

2 1/2 boxes of chicken broth

1 box mini bowtie pasta or orzo

3-4 cups of spinach

3 tbsp of sun-dried tomatoes 

1/2 cup heavy cream 

4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped

1 tbsp Italian seasoning 

1 tbsp red pepper flakes

1-2 tsp butter 

1. In a large pot, sauté in butter the onion, garlic, red pepper, Italian seasonings, bacon and a 1/2 cup of chicken broth and tomato paste
2. Add in chicken breast and rest of chicken broth. Boil for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
   
3. Remove chicken from broth and chop or shred. Add back to the broth. 
   
4. Chop spinach and add to soup along with the sun dried tomatoes. Bring back to a boil for 10 minutes. 
5. Finally turn down heat to low and add heavy cream.
