directions

Step 1

Sauté the aromatics: Heat the sun-dried tomato oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2

Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken thighs to the pot, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through.

Step 3

Add the tomatoes and broth: Pour in the fire-roasted tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.

Step 4

Cook the pasta: Add the orecchiette pasta to the soup and simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes until the pasta is cooked to your desired tenderness.

Step 5

Finish with cream, pesto, and fish sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, pesto, and fish sauce (if using). Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let the soup thicken slightly and become rich and creamy.

Step 6

Add the spinach: Stir in the spinach and let it wilt into the soup, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
