Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, sear on both sides until golden, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté diced onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook for another minute.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to the pot and simmer for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the soup.
Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and spinach. Simmer until greens are wilted and soup is creamy, about 5 minutes.
Season to taste, garnish with basil and extra Parmesan, and serve hot.

Notes

Add orzo or tortellini to make it extra hearty.

For a low-carb version, skip pasta and add more greens or cauliflower.

Use coconut milk and omit Parmesan for a dairy-free version.

Soup thickens in the fridge; add broth or water when reheating.

Freezes well — store in portions and thaw before reheating.
