Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Soup

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.

Today, I want to wrap you in a warm culinary hug with this Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Soup. This is the kind of soup I make when the weather turns chilly, when my family needs comfort, or when I simply want my kitchen to smell like heaven. I still remember the first time I made a version of this soup after moving to the US missing home, craving something rich and familiar, yet excited to blend flavors from my French roots with American-style comfort food.

This Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Soup became my answer to homesickness. The garlic reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen, the parmesan adds a nutty depth I adore, and the creamy broth makes everything feel indulgent without being fussy. It’s simple, cozy, and deeply satisfying.
