Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 pound Chicken Thighs Feel free to substitute with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
  • 1 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Can swap for chopped roasted red peppers for a milder flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Herbs Consider using a mix of dried oregano and basil as a substitute.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is ideal, but pre-minced can work in a pinch.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Replace with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Vegetable broth works well for a vegetarian option.
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust based on your spice preference or omit.
  • 2 cups Spinach Kale or Swiss chard can be used as a healthy alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese For a vegan option, omit completely or use nutritional yeast.
