Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken seasoned with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned (4–5 minutes).
Sauté onions, carrots, celery, sundried tomatoes, and garlic until translucent (3–4 minutes).
Sprinkle flour over the mixture; stir to combine. If using tomato paste, add it now.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
Bring to a boil; add pasta and remaining seasonings. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and pasta is al dente (about 20 minutes).
Stir in heavy cream, fresh spinach, and grated Parmesan cheese; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning as needed before serving hot.
