Ingredients
Scale
For the Soup:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped
- Extra cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and add the shredded cooked chicken. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing flavors to meld.
- Cook Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked al dente.
- Stir in Cream and Cheeses: Reduce the heat to low. Slowly stir in the heavy cream, followed by the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Mix gently until the soup is smooth, creamy, and the cheeses are fully melted.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or basil and additional cheese if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
- Feel free to freeze the soup without noodles and add fresh pasta when reheating for best texture.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control salt levels in the soup.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
