  • 3 chicken breasts (or about 1.5 pounds), cooked and shredded
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 can (15 oz) of white beans (optional, for added creaminess)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, then add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Add extra cheese on top if desired.
