  • Salt and pepper to taste

Soup Base:

  2. Saute Vegetables: Add onions, carrots, celery, sundried tomatoes, and garlic; cook until translucent.
  3. Make Roux: Sprinkle flour, add tomato paste if using, stir well to combine.
  4. Add Broth: Gradually whisk in chicken broth, ensuring no lumps.

  6. Finish Soup: Stir in cream, spinach, and parmesan; simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust salt and spices as needed.

Notes

  • Start with 6 cups of broth for a thick consistency; add more to thin out later if desired.
  • Tomato paste is optional for added flavor.
  • For pre-cooked chicken, add at the end to warm through.
  • Cook pasta separately to avoid mushiness; add to soup just before serving.
  • When reheating, add broth or water to thin out if needed.
  • Flour thickens the soup; cream cheese can be a substitute.
  • Adjust texture with different dairy options.
  • Slow cooker instructions provided for convenience.
