Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Build the Flavor Base
Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat to create a rich, flavorful base for your soup. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to infuse the soup with rich, aromatic flavor. Cook until fragrant.
Step 2: Add Broth and Noodles
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to come together beautifully. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Add Chicken and Cream
Reduce the heat to low and stir in shredded chicken, heavy cream, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir gently until cheese is melted and the soup becomes creamy.
Step 4: Finish with Spinach
Add the fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring gently until the leaves are wilted and tender. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra Parmesan or herbs, and serve warm.
