1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
02 -
Add 1 large yellow onion, diced, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
03 -
Pour in 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth and 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes. Stir in 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional). Bring to a simmer, forming the heart of your Cozy Creamy Chicken Lasagna Soup Recipe.
04 -
Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 1-2 inch pieces. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This ensures the perfect texture for your soup.
05 -
Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, and 5 ounces fresh spinach until wilted. Mix in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until well combined and creamy, completing the signature richness of this Cozy Creamy Chicken Lasagna Soup Recipe.
06 -
Taste and adjust Salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle your delicious Cozy Creamy Chicken Lasagna Soup Recipe into bowls. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy this comforting meal!
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, avoid overcooking the lasagna noodles; they will continue to soften slightly as the soup rests.
02 -
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
03 -
Feel free to substitute the chicken breast with 1 1/2 lbs ground chicken or turkey, browning it before adding the onion. You can also swap spinach for kale or Swiss chard.
04 -
Serve this hearty soup with a side of crusty bread or garlic knots for dipping.
