Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1" pieces)
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 14½ ounces canned diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
  • 1 recipe or a 10 ounce can cream of mushroom soup (low fat may be used)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1½ tablespoons Italian seasoning (add more to taste)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 ounces low fat or regular cream cheese (very soft)
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sugar or sugar substitute (use to reduce tanginess or acidity from the tomatoes)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat olive oil in a soup pot over medium high heat. Saute onion until tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add chicken, broth, diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, tomato paste, sundried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and sugar. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf. Whisk cream cheese with a couple of ladles of soup broth until creamy. Stir into soup, warm if needed. Salt and pepper to taste. Top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes that can be found in our post. Check it out! 
  • TIPS: Have the cream cheese very soft, even slightly warm. For the smoothest texture, whisk it with a few ladles of hot broth in a bowl before stirring it back into the soup. Adjust tartness with 1 teaspoon of sugar (or a sugar substitute) at a time. 
  • VARIATIONS: Use boneless skinless chicken breast sor thighs. Use regular, light, or nonfat cream cheese. 
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh basil and additional cheese. Serve with crusty bread and a fresh green salad with Italian salad dressing or a caesar salad.
