Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta medium shells cooked al dente and drained
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion diced small
  • 3 ounces sundried tomatoes sliced or chopped small
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded or shaved, not the powdery stuff

Instructions

  • In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook until onion starts to soften.
  • Stir in the sundried tomatoes and garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Stir in the spices, cooked chicken, and broth.
  • Give a quick stir to incorporate. Bring to a boil and turn to low.
  • Cook for 15 minutes, uncovered.
  • Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese. Continue cooking on low until cream cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  • Add the cooked pasta and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh spinach. Stir to incorporate and the spinach wilts.
  • Serve and garnish with more parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

  • If you want more tomato flavor, stir in a 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste with the chicken.
  • Pat the sun-dried tomatoes off with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
  • Not a fan of spinach? Try some fresh basil instead!
  • If you substitute kale, be sure to massage it or saute it for a bit before adding to the soup.
