Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 11 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • ¼ cup diced sundried tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
  • 68 cups chicken broth
  • 6 oz pasta
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½1 cup grated parmesan reggiano cheese
  • 2 ½3 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot, add chicken, 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brown for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Sauté Veggies: Add onions, carrots, celery, sundried tomatoes, and garlic. Cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Thicken the Soup: Sprinkle in flour, add tomato paste if desired. Gradually whisk in chicken broth.
  4. Cook Pasta: Add pasta, remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Finish the Soup: Stir in cream, spinach, and parmesan. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Notes

  • Start with 6 cups of broth for a thick texture, adjust to preference.
  • Tomato paste adds flavor, omit for a creamier soup.
  • Be cautious with precooked chicken to prevent overcooking.
  • To avoid mushy pasta, cook separately and add to soup at the end.
  • Thin out reheated soup with broth or water if needed.
  • Flour thickens soup; cream cheese can be a substitute.
  • You can use alternative dairy options, but adjust for texture differences.
  • Slow cooker option available for convenience.
