Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 ounces Rotini Pasta (or gluten-free pasta)

Sauté Base

  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (olive oil as a substitute)
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic

Soup Base

  • 14.5 ounces Diced Tomatoes (Italian style) (or crushed tomatoes)
  • 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley (or fresh parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano (or fresh oregano)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning (or homemade mix)
  • to taste Salt & Black Pepper (adjust to preference)

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken (shredded) (or cooked chicken breasts)
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (or grated Pecorino Romano)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook until al-dente, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta, rinse under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Onion: In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté it until tender and translucent, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
  3. Add Garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning and releasing the aromatic flavors.
  4. Create the Soup Base: Stir in the diced tomatoes, low sodium chicken broth, dried parsley, dried oregano, Italian seasoning, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors well.
  5. Add Chicken and Pasta: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and the cooked pasta to the pot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the soup to warm through and the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded Parmesan cheese. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil to enhance the taste and presentation before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotini pasta for any short pasta like penne or shells, or use gluten-free pasta if preferred.
  • Using rotisserie chicken simplifies preparation and adds rich flavor, but leftover cooked chicken works just as well.
  • Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to suit your taste preferences.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor if available.
  • This soup reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free substitute.
