Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 lb spicy Italian sausage removed from casing
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots sliced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 cup zucchini chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust for desired spice level
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream optional, for a creamy version
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Chicken and Sausage
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-6 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the Vegetables
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the carrots, celery, and zucchini, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Step 3: Simmer the Soup
- Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Step 4: Add Chicken and Spinach
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir in the spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Taste the soup and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Step 5: Optional Creamy Version
- For a creamier soup, stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Step 6: Serve
- Serve the soup hot, and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- More spice? Add extra red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to kick up the heat!
- Make it heartier: Add pasta or cooked rice for a more filling meal.
- Freeze it: This soup freezes well! Let it cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
