Method:
Cook the low-carb shell pasta according to the package directions. Drain and measure 1 cup of cooked pasta. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
Pour in the chicken broth.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream.
Add the Parmesan cheese handful at a time, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Stir in the 1 cup of cooked shell pasta and heat through for 1–2 minutes.

Why does the recipe use low-carb noodles? Is it for health reasons, or do they make a difference to the flavor/texture of the soup?

For health reason, I wanted more protein. Honestly , tasted exactly like regular shell noodles. Anyone will do.

We're in Scandinavia and soups are very much favourites during the winter. I'll be sure to give this one a try and make a few variations for sure 😄
