Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 28 oz can San Marzano tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tbsp dried minced onion (or 1/2 cup minced fresh onion)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp salt

Pasta and Protein

  • 2 cups dried pasta (small pasta like small shells, elbows or ditalini)
  • 2 cups diced rotisserie chicken

Finishing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tomatoes. Pour the can of San Marzano tomatoes into a large bowl and use kitchen shears to cut and dice the tomatoes into small pieces. Set aside for later use.
  2. Sauté aromatics. In the bottom of a large pot, melt the butter completely over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add tomato paste and broth. Stir in the tomato paste and 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth and well combined with the sautéed onion and garlic.
  4. Combine tomatoes and seasonings. Add in the prepared diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine. Then add the remaining 3 cups of chicken broth along with oregano, basil, and salt. Stir well.
  5. Boil and cook pasta. Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, add the dried pasta and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente. Start checking at 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  6. Add chicken. Once the pasta is al dente, stir in the diced rotisserie chicken, mixing thoroughly to distribute the chicken evenly throughout the soup.
  7. Finish with cream. Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy whipping cream until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy.
  8. Serve with cheese. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm soup before eating.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh tomatoes if San Marzano are not available, but canned tomatoes offer consistent flavor and texture.
  • Use small shaped pasta for the best texture and soup consistency.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Rotisserie chicken adds convenience, but leftover cooked chicken or even grilled chicken breasts can be used.
  • Adjust salt and herbs to your taste preference.
  • To make this soup gluten free, use gluten free pasta.
