Directions
- 1
Make the chicken: Whisk together the Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a large bowl; pour the Italian seasoning mixture over the chicken, and toss until evenly coated.
- 2
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the chicken, and cook, turning occasionally, for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate, and let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Chop into bite-sized chunks. Set aside.

Make the soup: Add the butter to the pot (do not wipe the pot clean first), and melt it over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3–4 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic; cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and slightly golden. Pour in the bone broth and milk, stirring to combine. Add the Italian seasoning, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- 4
Add the pasta to the simmering broth mixture in the pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Reduce the heat under the mixture to low.
- 5
Whisk together the yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the hot broth mixture from the pot in a small heatproof bowl until smooth. Slowly stir the tempered yogurt mixture into the soup.
- 6
Stir the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses into the soup mixture in the pot; cook, stirring constantly, until melted and creamy, about 4 minutes. (The soup will continue to thicken as it stands.) Stir in the cooked chicken. Stir in the spinach if using; cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and basil. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
- 7
Divide the soup evenly among 6 bowls. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh basil.
