  4. Mix in 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, stirring well to combine, and heat through for about 5 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and gradually stir in 1 cup of heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy, allowing it to heat gently for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle in 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and incorporates fully into the soup.
  7. Taste your soup, adding salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
