How To Make Marry Me Chicken Soup

  1. Simmer the chicken breasts in the chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat, covered, until the meat is tender and fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth and set it aside to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, dice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat a 3-quart soup pot over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened about 6 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the shredded or diced chicken plus the broth to the pot. Simmer the mixture, covered, for about 10 minutes, covered.
  4. Add the cheese ravioli to the soup pot and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Check the package instructions for the exact cooking time, as it may vary.
  5. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and lemon juice. Bring the soup back to a gentle boil and cook just until the spinach is wilted.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts into the broth, then add the heavy whipping cream, warming the soup over low heat. Do not boil or your cheese will get stringy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy!

Step-By-Step Process

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Start with bone-in chicken breasts for the most flavorful broth.
  • Let the Parmesan melt fully before adding the cream for the smoothest texture.
  • Add the spinach at the end of cooking so it stays bright and fresh.

Make It A Meal

Marry Me Chicken Soup is satisfying on its own, but you can pair it with a side of garlic bread or a simple Caesar salad for a full meal. For a special touch, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top and add a few fresh basil leaves. Pair it with a glass of white wine for a romantic dinner.

Storage

Store any leftover Marry Me Chicken Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, remove the ravioli from the broth so it doesn’t absorb all the broth while in the fridge. For longer storage, the soup can be frozen for up to 3 months.
