Dutch Oven

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion diced
3 cloves of garlic grated or minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste I suggest starting with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and adding from there.
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
1 parmesan cheese rind (optional)
7 cups low sodium chicken broth
8 ounces shell pasta
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt whole milk Greek yogurt at room temperature

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and cook another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste cooking it for a minute. Add in the sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese rind, then pour in the broth. Season with additional salt and stir everything together scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
Bring to a boil then pour in the uncooked pasta. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the pasta is al dente. You'll want the pasta to still be semi-hard as it will continue to cook in the hot broth.
Add in the chicken, spinach and parmesan cheese. Stir everything together and cook until the spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes.
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add in the Greek yogurt and stir until it throughly incorporated. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt if needed. Serve immediately.
