• 2 tsp italian seasoning

• 4 cups chicken broth (I use Swanson low-sodium broth)
• 1 lb chicken breast (cut into 1-inch chunks)
• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped into 1/4-inch pieces)
• 2 cups pasta (use campanelle or fusilli for better texture)
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (whisked with liquid until smooth)
