Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, precooked and shredded
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Cook and shred the chicken if not already prepared. Break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to enhance the flavor of the soup base.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
  5. Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
  6. Lower the heat and add heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Whisk until the cream cheese melts completely and the soup is smooth.
  7. Stir in shredded chicken and let it simmer for 5 minutes to warm through and blend the flavors.
  8. Add fresh spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
  9. Sprinkle in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  10. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with fresh basil or more Parmesan if desired.
