3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 ½ cups heavy cream

2 cups egg noodles

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

For the “Marry Me” Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter

¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

½ cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Garnishes:

Fresh parsley, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cook the Chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to rest. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the Soup Base:

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes, until the noodles are tender.

Make the “Marry Me” Sauce:

While the soup is simmering, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and combined.

Combine the Chicken and Soup:

Add the shredded chicken back into the soup and stir in the “Marry Me” sauce.

Simmer the soup for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.

Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese.
