Ingredients

For the Soup Base:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 6½ cups chicken broth
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp salt

Add-ins and Finishers:

• 12 oz shell pasta (gluten-free or regular)
• 2–3 cups cooked shredded chicken
• ¾ cup half & half or unsweetened Nutpods
• 1 package Boursin garlic & herb cheese (or 4 oz cream cheese)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups chopped baby spinach

Optional for Serving:

• More grated Parmesan
• Chopped fresh parsley
• Extra red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
2. Build the Base
   Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to caramelize slightly.
3. Add the Broth & Seasoning
   Pour in the chicken broth. Add Italian seasoning, pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil.
4. Cook the Pasta
   Add the pasta and cook until just shy of al dente (about 8–9 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Finish the Soup
   Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in the shredded chicken, half & half, Boursin cheese, Parmesan, and baby spinach. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and spinach is wilted.
6. Serve
   Ladle into bowls and top with extra Parmesan, parsley, and a pinch of chili flakes if desired.
