Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a pot over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Cook Chicken: Add shredded chicken to the pot, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  4. Create Soup Base: Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add sun-dried tomatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Cream: Reduce heat to low, stirring in heavy cream and warming for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
  6. Add Greens and Noodles: Stir in cooked noodles, spinach, and basil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts.
  7. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
