Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
8-10 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add shredded chicken, oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until pasta is al dente.
4. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Let them wilt for 2–3 minutes.
5. Reduce heat. Slowly stir in heavy cream, then add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in batches, stirring constantly until melted. Add salt to taste.
6. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with extra Parmesan, herbs, or olive oil if desired. Serve hot with bread or toast.
Notes
Swap in half-and-half or low-fat milk for a lighter version; add a little flour if needed for thickness.
Stir often after adding noodles and cheese to keep the soup smooth and prevent sticking.
Freeze the soup base only—add noodles and cream fresh when reheating for the best texture.
