Equipment
- 1 large pot or Dutch oven
- 1 cutting board
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 ladle
- 6 serving bowls
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes 15 ounces
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 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
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh basil or parsley optional
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft.
- Add the minced garlic and diced chicken to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, and water. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes until the noodles are al dente.
- Stir in the heavy cream, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheeses are melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. If the soup becomes too thick, add more water or broth to reach the desired consistency.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
This soup can be prepared ahead of time. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Leftover soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat on the stovetop; you may need to add additional broth or water to thin it out.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with additional vegetables and use vegetable broth.
