Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped celery, and chopped carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are just cooked through.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until smooth. Add this mixture to the pot, stirring continuously until the soup becomes creamy.
Simmer the soup for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is fully melted.
