My Marry Me Chicken Obsession Continues…
Okay, you say the word and I’ll stop with the “Marry Me Chicken” recipes, but I can’t help it, I’m completely obsessed. From my OG Marry Me Chicken to the slow cooker version, the one-pan tortellini bake, and now this soup, I am HOOKED.
This Marry Me Chicken Soup is so good. It’s loaded with tender pasta, pops of sun-dried tomatoes, tender chicken, plenty of veggies, and a rich, creamy Parmesan base.
Plus, it’s surprisingly straightforward to make thanks to the shortcut of using rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken.
Marry Me Chicken Soup Recipe Ingredients
| Ingredients | Helpful Notes |
|---|---|
| Olive oil, butter, onions, carrots, garlic | Cook these first for a flavorful base. Let the veggies soften fully so they aren’t crunchy. |
| Chicken broth, flour, pasta shells | Whisk flour into broth slowly to avoid lumps, then cook pasta right in the soup. |
| Heavy cream, Parmesan cheese | Add cream and cheese after the soup has boiled, so it stays smooth and creamy. |
| Kale, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme | Chop kale finely so it wilts quickly and blends nicely with the other ingredients. |
| Shredded chicken, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes | Rotisserie chicken is a quick shortcut. Season at the end to taste. |

Broccoli Cheddar SoupWhat To Serve With Marry Me Chicken Soup Recipe:
- Bread: A warm roll, French bread, or buttered crusty bread to soak up the broth.
- Simple salad: A light garden salad or this amazing apple salad for a fresh contrast.
- Roasted veggies: Broccoli, carrots, or green beans pair well without too much work.
- Fruit salad: A refreshing side like my Winter Fruit Salad or grapes and apple slices.
Recipe Tips
- Grate Parmesan finely: Use a microplane or the small side of a grater so the cheese melts smoothly into the broth.
- Use smaller pasta: Medium shells work great, but similar shapes will also work well.
- Brighten it: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can balance the richness of the cream.
- Add Parmesan rinds: If you have one, simmer it with the broth for even more flavor, then remove before serving.
