Marry me chicken soup with a Tuscan style creamy sauce and added rotini pasta. The flavors of sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil in a creamy sauce with juicy chicken is a soup you can’t miss.

Recipe Highlights

How it taste: Marry me chicken soup has a creamy broth for a base. The broth is seasoned by a touch of tomatoes, basil, garlic, and onions. The added pasta soaks up the flavors of the broth s every spoonful packs that flavorful punch. Bits of shredded chicken and the sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes alongside the garnishing of basil takes the “marry me” theme to another level.
Skill level: A soup that any beginner cook can make. I’ll include some tips of things to look out for but the soup is very simple to make, especially if you’re using rotisserie chicken.
Storing: Sadly, soup with pasta does not store well. Technically, it’ll keep in the fridge for a few days without issues but what happens is the pasta turns into this sponge and soaks up all the broth. I’ll drop a tip below to help with this.

Ingredient tips

Chicken: The recipe uses shredded chicken that’s already cooked. Picking up a rotisserie chicken is a very classic way to prepare a dish like this. Or if you have some leftover chicken that is tender enough to shred from another recipe is fine.
Pasta: Any pasta will work for this recipe. You can even swap it out for cooked rice. The pasta will make the marry me chicken soup more filling.
Tomato paste: Gives the broth the rich red color and compliments the sun-dried tomatoes. It also doubles as a thickener in the place of flour.
Heavy cream: A key ingredient in the creaminess of the soup itself. You can’t just use milk in the place of it because it provides more than just flavor. The creaminess is also a very important factor of the “marry me” theme in recipes.

Chef’s tips

I suggest garnishing it with parmesan cheese instead of adding it into the sauce. Parmesan is not the best melting cheese and can vary from brand to brand. A good brand will blend great but a bad brand the cheese will settle to the bottom making a mess.
If you know there will be leftovers, separate what you will eat that night from what will be store for later. Then, the part that you’re serving that night is the portion you add the pasta noodles to. If you add the pasta into the entire recipe and try to save some for later. You’ll come back to what was a marry me chicken soup because it will no longer be a soup. The pasta will absorb every drop of the broth. The only way to prevent this is planning ahead.
