Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; brown for 4–5 minutes.
Stir in diced onions, carrots, celery, sundried tomatoes, and minced garlic; cook until vegetables are translucent.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture; combine well. If using tomato paste, add it now.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps; deglaze the pot.
Bring to a boil; add pasta and remaining seasoning. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes until pasta is al dente.
Stir in heavy cream, spinach, and Parmesan cheese; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
