Ingredients
- chicken breasts
- onion
- garlic
- sun‑dried tomatoes
- tomato paste
- chicken broth
- pasta shells
- heavy cream
- Parmesan
- spinach
- fresh parsley
- basil
Instructions
- 1Season the whole chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in a large pot over medium‑high heat; cook until the surface changes color, about 4–5 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
- 2Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped sun‑dried tomatoes to the same pot; sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- 3Stir in the tomato paste and continue cooking, scraping the bottom of the pot, until the paste deepens to a brick‑red color, roughly 2 minutes.
- 4Pour in the heavily seasoned chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits, and bring the liquid to a gentle boil; reduce to a simmer.
- 5Return the partially cooked chicken breasts to the pot, cover, and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- 6Remove the chicken again, dice it into bite‑size pieces, and set aside; keep the broth simmering.
- 7Add the pasta shells to the simmering broth and cook until al dente, following the package timing (usually 8–10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- 8Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and the bagged spinach; continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt completely and the soup to become creamy.
- 9Return the diced chicken to the soup, heat through for another minute, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 10Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped fresh parsley, chopped basil, and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
