Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and add diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling broth. Cook according to package directions until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and cubed cream cheese until the cream cheese is melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese until combined.
- Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and gooey. Do not boil after adding cheese to keep the soup creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time. Add it in step 6.
- For a heartier soup, use a mixture of spinach and mushrooms sautéed with the onions.
- If the soup thickens too much while sitting, add a splash of extra broth or milk when reheating.
