Method
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrots, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken: If you're using raw chicken, add the shredded or cubed chicken to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned. If you're using pre-cooked chicken, you can add it directly with the broth in the next step.
- Add the Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, then add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and continue to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the soup becomes creamy.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Add extra cheese on top if desired.
