Description
A creamy, comforting chicken soup packed with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and pasta in a rich broth.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup drained julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil with herbs
- 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar
- 2 (32-ounce) packages chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 ounces uncooked medium shell pasta
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 cups packed roughly chopped fresh baby spinach
- 1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
Instructions
- Heat the reserved sun-dried tomato oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens slightly.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add the basil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 12 minutes.
- Add the uncooked pasta and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 12 minutes until the pasta is al dente.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the spinach, chicken, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Cook for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and chicken is hot.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil and Parmesan.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent it from curdling or clumping in the hot broth.
