Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 pound shredded chicken
  • 3–4 ounce sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1/4 cup basil, chopped

Broth and Seasonings

  • 3 ounce tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Pasta and Dairy

  • 2 cups rotini pasta, dry
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Prepare all ingredients by shredding the chicken, chopping sun-dried tomatoes and basil, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they are soft and beginning to brown, creating a flavorful base.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Basil: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil to the pot and cook briefly to release their flavors.
  4. Incorporate Tomato Paste and Chicken: Add the tomato paste and cook it within the mixture for about a minute. Then add the shredded chicken, stirring to combine well.
  5. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  6. Cook Pasta: Add the dry rotini pasta to the simmering soup and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is tender according to package instructions.
  7. Finish Soup: Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream to add richness. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt level better.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the broth slightly before adding the cream.
  • Fresh basil enhances flavor but can be substituted with dried if needed (use 1 teaspoon dried).
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken can be used to save time.
  • Ensure pasta is cooked al dente to prevent it from getting mushy as it sits.
