Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breasts, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken turns golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Once done, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, letting it cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using) to the pot. Sprinkle in the flour or cornstarch, stirring constantly to form a light roux. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking to avoid lumps.
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and milk. Stir in the parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, allowing them to blend into the broth. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the seared chicken back to the pot, ensuring it absorbs the flavors. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes until thickened. If needed, add a cornstarch slurry for additional thickness.
Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, mixing until fully melted. The soup should now be creamy and smooth.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve with garlic bread or a side of buttered rolls for a complete meal.
