Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup drained julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
  • 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar
  • 1½ cups chopped yellow onion
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 (32-ounce) packages chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1½ teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (plus more for garnish)
  • 8 ounces uncooked medium shell pasta
  • 3 cups roughly chopped fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed (room temperature)
  • 1½ ounces Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (plus more for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar in large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and garlic. Cook 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook 2 minutes until tomato paste deepens in color.
  3. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, basil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Stir and bring to boil over medium heat, about 12 minutes.
  4. Add pasta and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in spinach, chicken, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Cook 5 minutes, stirring often, until cheeses melt and chicken heats through.
  6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan, basil, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature for smooth melting.
  • Press cream cheese chunks against pot side to incorporate fully.
  • Don’t overcook pasta – it continues softening in hot soup.
  • Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for best flavor.
