Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup halal heavy cream or canned coconut milk
- 1 cup halal Parmesan-style cheese or grated hard cheese alternative
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups uncooked pasta (small shapes like shells or rotini)
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft.
- Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in flour and whisk for 30 seconds to create a smooth base.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Add shredded chicken, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in the pasta and cook until tender, about 10–12 minutes.
- Reduce heat, then add heavy cream and Parmesan-style cheese. Stir until creamy and smooth.
- Taste, adjust seasoning, and garnish before serving.
Notes
- For gluten-free variations, use cornstarch instead of flour and gluten-free pasta.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute with coconut milk and a dairy-free parmesan alternative.
- If the soup thickens too much, add a splash more broth or water to reach desired consistency.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
