How To Make Chicken Alfredo Soup Recipe (Quick Overview)
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the soup. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
This recipe is soup-er 😉 easy to make, so let’s get started!
Make sure you start with cooked chicken, cooked broccoli, and cooked pasta.
To make the 2 cups cooked pasta needed for this soup, cook 4 oz dry pasta in 5 cups water – that should produce just about 2 cups cooked pasta.
Then, sautee the garlic…
Toss in the rest of the butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
Whisk it all together until it’s nice and smooth, then let it simmer for about 3 minutes. Resist the urge to eat the alfredo sauce you’ve just created by the spoonful. 🙂
Pour in the chicken broth and give it a good whisk.
Add the cooked chicken, cooked broccoli, and cooked pasta, then stir it all up.
Don’t want to use broccoli? Cauliflower and cauliflower rice work great too!
Let it simmer for another 3 minutes (or until everything’s heated through), stirring occasionally. Once that’s done, turn off the heat.
Then, slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese (grated by hand for the best texture) until it’s melted and creamy.
Take it off the heat and season with a little salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve right away! Just a heads-up, this soup will thicken a lot as it cools.
If you prefer a thinner/more liquidy soup, add additional chicken broth/stock.
Enjoy!
