- Stir in the onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the petite diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and pasta. Make sure the pasta is covered by the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 8 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
- Turn the heat down to medium. Stir in the cream cheese and parmesan cheese. Cook another 5 minutes or until the cream cheese melts.

Notes
Cook the pasta until al dente to prevent it from overcooking. Make sure to soften the cream cheese for easier melting. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add a splash of heavy cream.
