Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring the soup to a simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through completely.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Do not boil after adding the cream and cheese; gently heat it through.
7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
8. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Gently reheat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, to avoid curdling. Do not boil. Can also be reheated in the microwave on medium power.
