The Story & Intro
Bonjour my friends! 👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
There are some recipes that feel like a warm hug, and then there are recipes that feel like a promise. This Marry Me Chicken Soup is definitely the second kind. The first time I made it, my kitchen smelled so rich and comforting that my husband wandered in, spoon in hand, before I even called him. One taste, and he smiled that smile the one that says, “This is special.” 💍🍲
Inspired by the famous Marry Me Chicken, this soup version takes everything we love tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, parmesan, and creamy broth and turns it into a cozy, spoonable bowl of romance. Marry Me Chicken Soup is perfect for chilly nights, family dinners, or when you just want to cook something that feels extra loving without being complicated.
I love how Marry Me Chicken Soup feels elegant yet easy, indulgent yet comforting. It’s the kind of recipe you make when you want to impress, but also when you just want to take care of the people you love. Whether you’re cooking for a partner, friends, or yourself (because self-love counts 💕), this soup delivers every single time.
🛒 Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this dreamy Marry Me Chicken Soup:
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Yellow onion, finely diced
- Fresh garlic cloves, minced
- Sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
- Italian seasoning
- Red pepper flakes (optional, but lovely)
- Chicken broth
- Heavy cream
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Simple ingredients, but when they come together, magic happens ✨
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the aromatics
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and let it bloom just until fragrant. This is the base of flavor, so don’t rush it.
Step 2: Build the flavor
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for about a minute. Your kitchen will already smell irresistible.
Step 3: Cook the chicken
Nestle the chicken breasts directly into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, making sure the chicken is mostly covered. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 4: Shred and cream
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Let the soup simmer gently until creamy, thick, and luxurious.
Step 5: Finish with love
Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot. This is Marry Me Chicken Soup at its finest 💛
