It all began on a cool autumn day when I wanted something hot, creamy, and tasty. I had just come back from the nearby market with a basket full of fresh vegetables: colorful carrots, celery, garlic, and a bunch of herbs. I wanted to create something unique yet easy – something that would make my home smell cozy and inviting.

While cooking the ground chicken with garlic and onions in olive oil, I felt a familiar and comforting feeling. It made me think of the small Italian restaurant I went to in a little village in Italy a long time ago. The lady who owns the place, Nonna Rosa, gave me a delicious soup made with simple ingredients that tasted like pure love.

Because of her, I chose to add an Italian touch to this dish. I put a little bit of cream, some baby spinach, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. The outcome was a smooth soup full of Italian flavors—rich, filling, and very satisfying.

How to Prepare a Simple Creamy Italian Ground Chicken Soup in One Pot

Initial Stage:

Warm up a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Put olive oil in the pan and then add the ground chicken. Let it cook without touching it for 3-4 minutes before breaking it into pieces. Cook until completely cooked.

Next Step:

Add Italian seasoning, garlic, and if desired, Calabrian chiles to the cooked chicken. Mix well and cook for 30-60 seconds until the garlic smells good.

Step three:

Add a few tablespoons of chicken broth to the pot, if needed. Put the pasta and the rest of the chicken broth. Place a lid on the pot and cook for 10 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes.

Step four:

While the pasta is cooking, make the ricotta sauce. Mix together ricotta cheese, milk, lemon juice, lemon peel, and black pepper until you get a smooth mixture. Put aside.

Step number five:

After 10 minutes, stop heating and remove the lid from the pot. Add frozen peas to the soup to heat them up and slightly lower the temperature of the soup.

Step number six:

Mix the ricotta sauce into the soup, stirring well. Add shredded cheese for extra flavor.

Step number seven:

Serve right away with additional parmesan cheese, spicy Calabrian peppers, black pepper, fresh basil, and a squeeze of lemon, if you like. To keep the soup warm if you are not serving it right away, leave it on low heat.
