Equipment
- Large Soup Pot with Lid
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil from sundried tomatoes
- 2 small yellow onions minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 6- oz can tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups medium-sized pasta uncooked
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups baby spinach stems removed
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes in oil chopped
- ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- In a large stockpot over medium heat add sun-dried tomato oil, then cook onion until softened.
- Add garlic, sea salt and pepper and cook until fragrant.
- Then cook tomato paste for about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock and water and bring to a boil.
- Place the uncooked pasta in the pot and stir to ensure it does not stick. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until al dente.
- Shut off the heat and stir in chicken, spinach, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan. Allow the spinach to wilt and serve immediately.
- Add additional parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste or as garnishes.
Notes
- Cook until Al Dente: The pasta will keep absorbing liquid, be sure to stop at al dente.
- Use a Large Dutch Oven: A wide base helps the pasta cook evenly.
- Freshly Grate Parmesan: Melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
- Taste Before Serving: Adjust salt, black pepper or red pepper flakes to balance the flavor to your taste.
- Serve Immediately: For tender noodles and creamy broth, enjoy right away.
- Refrigerator: Store cooled soup in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- Freezer: Place in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months; note the pasta texture may change slightly.
- Reheating: Warm gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if the soup thickens.
