Ingredients

  • 500g chicken thighs
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper sweet paprika
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 large celery stems, cut in tiny cubes
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 250g small pasta shells
  • 1 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 cup thickened cream
  • 2 packed cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomato strips

Method

  1. Brown the chicken: Sprinkle each side with the salt, pepper and sweet paprika. Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Once foamy, place the chicken in and cook the first side for 3 minutes or until light golden on each side. Remove from the pot onto and finish cooking the chicken in a preheated oven (approx. 20 minutes at 180C) until cooked through.
  2. On medium low heat add garlic, onion and celery into the same pot then cook until the onion is softened.
  3. Turn up to high, add stock, stir, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then add the pasta. Cook for the time per the pasta packet directions, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, reduce heat to low. Stir in parmesan, cream and spinach. Stir for a minute until spinach is wilted and soup thickens slightly.
  6. To serve – place a piece of chicken into a bowl, add soup with pasta. Garnish with sun dried tomato strips and a bit of olive oil. Enjoy!

  • This looks like such a delicious and easy dinner dish to make. I love buying premade ingredients like ravioli or tortellini and upscaling it to an impressive meal, rather than mixing it through some passata. I always have lots of kale in the fridge and that would go so well with this soup. I love the combination of cream and sundried tomatoes

  • Yum! This looks hearty and absolutely delicious. I love a good creamy chicken and pasta soup, the addition of the tomato’s sounds interesting and would add that extra zing. The shell pasta would be great with it but I like that you could use different shapes with this recipe, I’d probably use macaroni.

  • I am not a soup lover but after looking at the photo and seeing those yummy ingredients I am definately going to make this delicious looking soup. I love that it is healthy and has my favourite food items in there, I never would have thought to make them into a soup!

  • I was going to make this over winter and never got around to it. It looks so good, I will make it next week.

  • I love soups and have them all year round.
    This one sounds very indulgent with the thickened cream and I adore sun dried tomatoes. I make a pasta sauce that uses thickened cream, cheese and sundried tomatoes.
    My partner is not so keen on soups but i am doing my best to convert him

  • Oh, this sounds yummy!

    Love Tuscan style food, especially if pasta and creaminess is involved.

    And perfect timing for soup being sick with cold.

    I have all the ingredients in fridge and pantry, except the baby spinach – but do have some frozen spinach (store bought) in freezer that might work.

  • Yum – This Creamy Tuscan Chicken Soup looks absolutely mouthwatering. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to grab a spoon immediately, or better yet, bake a loaf of crusty bread just to soak up every last bit. I’d love to try making this. Definitely going on my must-cook list for a chilly evening or a slow Sunday dinner

  • Ok so after seeing this recipe a little while back I decided to give it a try and I’m happy to say my family and I loved it! I’m not the best cook around so I was pleased with how easy it was and we will be adding it into our meal rotation

  • Since trialling Vileda Handy Fresh gloves a while back, I’ve continued to buy them for food preparation purposes especially handling raw meat. I love this Tuscan soup recipe. Looks and sounds delicious. So much goodness! The added cream gives a smoothness and richness. The sun dried tomatoes are a nice touch, too! Looking forward to making this one.

  • This recipe sounds really tasty and filling. The cream, parmesan and sun dried tomatoes would make a nice addition with my sort of tatses in there. As for the advert for the rubber gloves in amongst the recipe. Thankfully I don’t have a issue handlingthe raw meats and would rather not use lot of plastic gloves that go to landfill.

  • Oh yum! There a so many great flavours in this recipe! I absolutely love sundried tomatoes and to pair it with parmesan cheese and creamy spinach and paprika! Absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try it. We have gluten free in our house and I can definitely adjust this recipe accordingly

  • I love soup in winter, and this one sounds both filling and tasty. I’ll admit I’m not a fan of chicken thighs and will probably substitute a bit of chicken breast, but otherwise this sounds tasty and very enjoyable. I bet it’s pretty filling too, so great for a meal in itself.

  • I tried this last night and omg it was so yummy! thanks for sharing

  • Ooh i love a good soup in winter but this is one I’ve never tried and it looks really tasty. Great flavours and very filling as well. This is definitely a recipe I’ll be adding to my “to make” list. I dont think you’d even need bread or toast with it as it looks hearty enough on its own!

  • You could make this perfectly vegetarian by using chicken style strips or even tofu and replacing the chicken stock with vegetable stock. Personally none of us is keen on sun dried tomatoes but I think it would be nice to add some beautiful mushrooms instead (I always love to browse at the vegetable market for Enoki, Shi take, Porcini or Chanterelle mushrooms).

  • Definitely an interesting one! I havent really had much experience and tried many creamy type soups before. But this would be amazing with the colder weather we have right now. It would definitely warm the body and soul up. Love hearty soups at this time of year! And pasta is definitely a favourite here
