Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 small carrots peeled and diced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes optional for a kick
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lb. air-fried boneless skinless chicken thighs chopped

  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach chopped
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Add the diced carrots, onions, and minced garlic, along with the Italian seasoning, chili flakes (if using), and nutmeg. Stir well and cook until the vegetables soften, about 3-4 minutes.
