Notes
- Types of pasta: Use small pasta shapes like orecchiette, ditalini, conchigliette (small pasta shells), farfalle, or even some pillowy gnocchi. You can also use small gluten-free pasta shapes if needed!
- Chicken: Store-bought rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut, but you can also use leftover chicken, shredded chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs. Just make sure they are in bite-sized pieces!
- Fresh herbs: You can swap the garlic powder for 2 fresh garlic cloves, add a little Italian seasoning, and stir in fresh basil leaves for a pop of flavor.
- Dairy-free: Substitute heavy cream with canned coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Extra flavor: Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and use the sun-dried tomato oil from the jar of instead of olive oil.
- Slow cooker option: Add all ingredients except the pasta, cream, and spinach to the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, then stir in pasta for the last 30 minutes and finish with cream and spinach before serving.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. The soup thickens as it sits, so you may need to add a splash of broth when reheating.
