# Instructions:
01 -
Assemble and measure all ingredients before beginning, ensuring the chicken is shredded and the vegetables are chopped.
02 -
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil, then sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and lightly browned.
03 -
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil, allowing flavors to meld for 1 minute.
04 -
Mix in the tomato paste and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the shredded chicken and combine thoroughly.
05 -
Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
06 -
Add the dry rotini pasta to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, typically 10 to 12 minutes, until pasta is al dente.
07 -
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the heavy cream for a rich, creamy finish. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
08 -
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best texture, add the rotini pasta just prior to serving if planning to make the soup ahead, as pasta can absorb extra liquid over time.
02 -
Sun-dried tomatoes impart a concentrated, tart flavor; adjust quantity for a milder taste.
