- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the ground chicken and increase the heat slightly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned through.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the browned ground chicken to the pot and stir well to combine with the garlic and onions. Heat for another minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine all ingredients, and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Slowly add the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring continuously until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the dried basil, dried oregano and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add red pepper flakes if desired, stir well, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring constantly until the cheeses melt and create a gooey texture.
- Toss in the fresh spinach, diced carrot, and diced celery, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or garlic if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Notes
Use fresh herbs for better flavor and avoid boiling after adding cream to maintain texture.
