5. Chicken marsala soup
Turn one of your favorite pasta dishes into a creamy, mouthwatering soup that is so comforting and delicious. You’ll need cooked chicken, baby spinach, peeled and chopped carrots, ziti, garlic cloves, fresh thyme, diced sweet onion, chicken stock butter, heavy cream, marsala wine, sliced cremini mushrooms, flour, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium high heat.
Add in mushrooms and saute until they are softened. Remove from the pot. Add more butter to the pot, melt, add in carrots and onion and saute until the veggies are soft. Add in the garlic and saute for another minute, stirring until it becomes fragrant. Whisk in flour until well combined and cook for another minute. Add marsala wine and stir. Cook until it simmers. Reduce heat, stir in the ziti and cook until al dente. Add the mushrooms, spinach, and cream.
