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
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped
  • Extra cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and optional red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute to release their flavors.
  2. Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the shredded cooked chicken. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil to combine the flavors.
  3. Cook Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still al dente.
  4. Stir in Cream and Cheeses: Lower the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Follow by adding ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt and the soup becomes creamy and smooth.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and additional cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control the saltiness of the soup.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
  • You can substitute gluten-free lasagna noodles if needed.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, though the soup will be less creamy.
