Instructions

Put the oil, garlic and thyme into a large pot, turn heat to medium high and sauté until fragrant, about one minute.
Mix in tomato paste. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to a simmer.
Add the chicken, cover pot and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Use tongs to remove chicken to plate and let cool. Add the chopped tomatoes and the macaroni to the pot and simmer for 12 minutes or until the macaroni is tender.
While the macaroni is cooking, shred chicken into bite sized pieces and return to pot. Stir in the cooked macaroni and the chopped ham and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with parsley and cheese and serve!
