Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the butter and let it melt.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Return the chicken thighs to the pot.

Step 5

Cover and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the pot again, shred the meat using two forks, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the soup. Stir until the cream cheese has melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 8

Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Add the baby spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes in the hot soup.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot and enjoy its rich, creamy goodness.
