Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbows)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chopped kale or baby spinach
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
3. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir and cook for 1 minute.
4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in shredded chicken.
5. Add pasta and cook according to the package instructions, about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
7. Add chopped kale or spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
8. Stir in parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
9. Let soup simmer gently for another 2 minutes, then serve hot with additional parmesan if desired.
Notes
Always reduce the heat before adding cream to avoid curdling.
Store pasta separately if making ahead to prevent it from absorbing too much broth.
Use freshly grated parmesan for the smoothest melt and boldest flavor.
