Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoons of reserved oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes or 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and saute for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and saute for another 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the flavors.
- Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, salt, basil, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred with two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the pasta, baby spinach, and cream cheese. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through to al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more red pepper flakes or salt. Garnish with additional Parmesan, basil, and crushed red pepper.
Notes
- Store: Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It stays fresh in the refrigerator for three to four days.
- Freeze: Pour the cooled soup into a freezer-safe container, leaving room for expansion. Freeze for up to three months, then thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm gently over medium-low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally. If it thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or heavy cream to restore the silky consistency.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the soup up to a day in advance and refrigerate it. The flavors meld beautifully, making it even better the next day! Just reheat and serve.
