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
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add Broth and Cook Noodles: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook until tender, approximately 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Incorporate Chicken and Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded cooked chicken, heavy cream, and ricotta cheese. Simmer gently to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add Cheese and Finish: Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan until melted and incorporated into the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan for extra cheesiness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or parsley for a bright, fresh finish. This soup pairs well with garlic bread or a simple green salad.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken with turkey or keep it vegetarian by omitting the meat.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a time-saving shortcut.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for desired spiciness or omit for a milder flavor.
- Broken lasagna noodles help the pasta cook evenly and make the soup easier to eat.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream or use low-fat ricotta.
