Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup (Olive Garden) image

Ever since the first time I saw the Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup being advertised on TV, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It just looked so delicious. So here's my attempt at making a clone of it. Let me know what you think. Post Script: The first batch has been deemed a success by my husband and daughter. They would give it a 5 Star Rating, but of course, they're partial to the cook! From the kitchen of Tona Thornburg Court, Moberly, Missouri.

Yield 4 quarts, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
32 ounces chicken broth
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon instant minced onion
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
2 (28 ounce) cans water
2 (15 ounce) cans great northern beans, drained
10 ounces shredded carrots
6 medium sliced potatoes, peeled
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon italian seasoning
1/2 tablespoon instant minced onion
1/2 tablespoon paprika
5 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Simmer first 6 ingredients until chicken breasts are tender; remove meat and let cool; drain the solids from the broth and put clear liquid back into the soup pot; chop up chicken into bite size chunks and put back into the broth.
  • Add next 10 ingredients to the soup pot and simmer for 45-60 minutes. The potatoes should be fork tender but not mushy.
  • Add the fresh spinach and stir; let it wilt into the soup for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cream cheese and the grated mozzarella to the soup pot. Stir frequently until the cheese melts. Be careful that it does not stick to the bottom.
  • Ladle into bowls; serve with crusty bread.

I'm not a big fan of creamy soups, but this one is an exception. It's so flavorful and satisfying. I love the addition of artichokes. They add a nice briny flavor that really complements the chicken and potatoes.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of roasted chicken on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make this soup during the week. It's a quick and easy way to get a healthy and delicious meal on the table

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more herbs and spices. I also found that the potatoes took a bit longer to cook than the recipe stated.
