Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit dough according to package directions and set aside.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian herbs, and tomato paste. Cook another 5 minutes, stirring often to build flavor.
Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 3–4 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in heavy cream, followed by chicken stock, until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked chicken, bay leaf, and Parmesan. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup slightly thickens. Stir in kale or spinach until wilted, then remove from heat.
Ladle soup into 6 oven-safe ramekins, filling each about ¾ full. Add a dollop of mascarpone to the center (if using), then top each with a portion of biscuit dough.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush evenly over the biscuit tops. Bake 14–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the soup is bubbling at the edges.

Notes
• You can swap the chicken breast for rotisserie chicken to save time. just fold it in during step 5. • If you don’t have mascarpone, a small spoonful of cream cheese works beautifully for extra creaminess. • Spinach cooks down faster than kale, so if using spinach, add it in right before removing the soup from heat. • Leftovers reheat perfectly the next day — just pop them back in the oven to re-crisp the biscuit topping.
