1 Tsp of Salt

1/2 Tsp of Pepper

1 Cup of Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions:

In a large soup pot over medium heat melt your butter. Add your onions and sauté until the onions are translucent.

Add your minced garlic, sundried tomatoes, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and optional cayenne pepper/red pepper flakes. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes.

Next add your chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

While your soup is simmering, cook your pasta in a separate pot according to the directions on the box.

Make your cornstarch slurry in a separate bowl - whisk together your heavy whipping cream and cornstarch then add to your soup mixture. Add your shredded chicken and parmesan cheese to your soup mixture at this time as well. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until everything is heated through and your cheese is melted.

I like too keep the noodles and soup separate until I dish up my bowl to avoid the noodles from getting soggy.

Dish up and top with additional parmesan cheese if you would like. Another option is topping your soup with scoop of ricotta cheese.

Enjoy :)
