Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small white onion diced
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
4 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon tomato paste
⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1 cup orzo
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
6 cups chicken broth
3 cups chopped spinach
1 cup half and half

Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and Italian seasoning, and cook another minute.
Add the tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes and stir well to combine.
Add the orzo, chicken, and chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the orzo is cooked through.
Stir in the chopped spinach and half and half, and cook until the spinach is wilted.
Serve topped with shredded Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage - store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Make Ahead - you can prep this ahead of time and then just reheat on the stove once you're ready to serve. You might need to add some more broth or water to thin out the broth again.
