Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Fat for sautéing aromatics; substitute with butter for a richer flavor.
  • 1 medium Onion, diced Adds sweetness and depth; shallots work well as a milder alternative.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Brings aromatic flavor; garlic powder can be used if fresh isn’t available.
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, shredded Protein source; consider rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth, low sodium Forms the soup's base; homemade broth adds a personal touch.
  • 2 cups Water Balances the saltiness; can be replaced with more broth for deeper flavor.
For the Creamy Mixture
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Provides luscious creaminess; substitute half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds extra creaminess; feel free to use whole or low-fat milk.
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese Contributes a creamy texture; essential for that lasagna taste in the soup.
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated Introduces a rich, nutty flavor to the soup.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded Melts wonderfully to enhance creaminess in each spoonful.
For Seasoning
  • 8 pieces Lasagna Noodles, broken Provides heartiness; gluten-free options can be used if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil A classic Italian herb; use fresh basil for a more vibrant flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Adds an herbal touch; an Italian seasoning mix works well here too.
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme Imparts an earthy note; can be omitted if you don’t have it on hand.
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Essential seasoning; adjust to suit your taste preferences.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; reduce if your broth is already salty.
For Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped Provides a pop of color and freshness on serving; completely optional!

Equipment

  • Large pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Introduce 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken into the pot, followed by 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of dried thyme, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully add 8 broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Stir occasionally and let them cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an al dente texture.
  4. Once the noodles are cooked, lower the heat and add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of milk. Stir well and let the soup simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until creamy and well-blended.
  6. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, add a dollop of the cheese mixture to each serving, and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
