Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs boneless skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 14 oz artichoke hearts drained and quartered
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 5 minutes or until softened and fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, until they’re golden and cooked through.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts, cooking for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the heavy cream and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts, about 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Chicken – You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer. Just cut each breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Thighs add a richer flavor, but breasts work great too!
- Sun-Dried Tomatoes – Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add extra flavor to the soup. Just be sure to drain them well before adding. If you only have dry-packed tomatoes, rehydrate them in hot water for a few minutes first.
- Cream Substitute – For a lighter or dairy-free option, replace the heavy cream with canned coconut milk. It will add a subtle coconut flavor but keeps the soup creamy without the dairy.

Serving Ideas – Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a handful of crispy bacon bits on top for an extra layer of flavor. These toppings complement the creamy broth and bring a savory finish to each bowl!
