Chicken Soup, but packed full of flavor! Talk about simple, nutritious, and delicious!
1. To make the creamy chicken pasta soup: In a large dutch oven, add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and saute in olive oil until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add cooked chicken and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
2. Add the broth, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Cover and bring to a boil, then cook for 15 minutes.
3. Lower the heat, then add pasta and cheddar and simmer until pasta is cooked to your liking. Add spinach to the chicken pasta soup toward the end, and stir until wilted.
4. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve the creamy chicken pasta soup into bowls and top with extra parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
Note: If you like a thinner chicken pasta soup, you can cook pasta on the side and add it to the soup at the end and reheat before serving.
