How to Prepare Marry Me Chicken Soup in Just 30 Minutes

If your family enjoys “marry me” recipes, they’ll love adding this comforting soup to their dinner lineup:

Sauté Onion & Garlic: In a large pot over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened (about 3–4 minutes).
Incorporate Tomato Paste: Stir in tomato paste; cook for an additional minute.
Add Broth & Seasonings: Pour in chicken broth along with cooked shredded chicken, paprika, and Italian seasoning; stir well.
Mix In Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Noodles: Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes along with egg noodles; cook on medium-high heat until noodles are tender (approximately 10 minutes).

Tips & Variations

Customize your Marry Me Chicken Soup by experimenting with different pasta types or spice levels:

Pasta Options: While we love egg noodles here, feel free to substitute smaller pasta shapes like small shells or ditalini.

Sun-Dried Tomato Alternatives: If you can’t find sun-dried tomatoes (a key ingredient), consider using canned stewed or diced tomatoes instead.

Fresh Basil Garnish: A sprinkle of fresh basil adds both color and flavor!

Spice It Up: For those who enjoy heat—add extra red pepper flakes directly into your bowl!

Storing Leftovers

This Marry Me Chicken Soup makes excellent leftovers! Consider doubling the batch so you can freeze some for later enjoyment:

Refrigerator Storage: Once cooled completely, transfer leftovers into an airtight container where they’ll stay fresh for about 3–4 days.

Freezer Storage: Place cooled soup into freezer-safe containers or resealable bags—leave space at the top due to expansion during freezing—and label them clearly with dates. The frozen version lasts around 2–3 months without losing quality.

Reheating Instructions: To reheat frozen portions: thaw overnight in the refrigerator then warm on stovetop or microwave until heated through thoroughly.
