Description

A creamy and flavorful Cajun chicken pasta soup that combines tender chicken, pasta, and a rich broth, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup pasta (penne or shell)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 piece bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for cooking
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, and half of the Cajun seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, roughly 4-5 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 7-10 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream along with the remaining Cajun seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your spice preference.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative.
