  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh black pepper

  2. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, salt, pepper and rosemary, then pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot. Let the wine cook out for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes.
  3. Add the chicken and spinach to the soup, stir and simmer for 25 minutes, uncovered.
  4. Whisk the cream cheese into the soup until fully incorporated, then add the cooked noodles. Alternately, you can add noodles to each bowl and then ladle the soup on top.
