why you’ll love Creamy Tuscan-Style Marry Me Chicken Soup
This soup is more than just a meal — it’s an experience. Inspired by the popular Marry Me Chicken recipe, it takes the same creamy Tuscan flavors and transforms them into a hearty soup. The chicken is juicy, the tortellini adds heartiness, and the Parmesan cream sauce is enhanced by tangy sun-dried tomatoes. It’s quick to make in just 35 minutes, yet impressive enough to serve to guests.
tips for success
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest, richest flavor.
- Don’t overcook the tortellini — add it last so it stays tender.
- If the soup thickens too much, add extra broth to loosen it.
creative variations
- Protein Swap: Use turkey, shrimp, or tofu instead of chicken for a twist.
- Low-Carb Option: Skip the tortellini and use zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
serving suggestions
- Serve with crusty garlic bread or warm focaccia to soak up the creamy broth.
- Pair with a fresh Caesar salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper for a restaurant-style finish.
storing leftovers
Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream to keep it silky. For longer storage, freeze without tortellini (add fresh pasta when reheating).
