Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Protein
- 1 pound chicken breast, cooked and shredded
Pasta
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
Cheeses
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and fragrant, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
- Simmer Broth and Noodles: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the shredded chicken and broken lasagna noodles. Allow the mixture to cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
- Add Cream and Cheeses: Stir in the heavy cream, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes rich and creamy, thickening slightly.
- Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final stir and serve hot, enjoying the luscious flavors reminiscent of classic lasagna in soup form.
Notes
- For best results, use cooked chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper before shredding.
- Break lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces to ensure easy eating in soup form.
- If you prefer a thinner soup, add a little more chicken broth or water when adding the cream.
- Feel free to garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added color and flavor.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to prevent the cream from curdling.
