Description
A hearty and creamy chicken soup with potatoes and kale, perfect for any season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, (optional)
- 1 small yellow onion, (diced)
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic, (minced)
- 1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, (peeled, cut into ½-inch pieces)
- 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, (chopped (oil-packed, drained))
- 2 to 3 cups kale, (chopped, stems removed)
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
- Parmesan cheese, (grated, for serving (optional))
- Fresh thyme, (for garnish (optional))
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and break it apart with a wooden spoon as it begins to cook.
- Immediately sprinkle the Italian seasoning, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the chicken. Continue cooking and stirring, allowing the chicken to cook through and absorb the seasonings, until it is no longer pink. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the diced onion to the same pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the potatoes, chicken broth, water, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the chopped kale and let simmer for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until the kale is wilted and tender.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to warm the sauce.
- Remove from heat.
- Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
- This soup is versatile; you can add your favorite vegetables or adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- For a thicker soup, let it simmer longer or blend a portion of it and return it to the pot.
