Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) Italian seasoning
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 ounces (8 oz) lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté diced onions and minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat until translucent and aromatic, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot, then add diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and pre-cooked shredded chicken. Increase heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Carefully break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and gently introduce them into the simmering liquid. Reduce heat and allow noodles to cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and gradually incorporate mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, stirring continuously until completely melted and creating a smooth, creamy texture.
- Stream heavy cream into the soup, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Ladle the steaming soup into serving bowls and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Serve immediately while hot, allowing diners to enjoy the rich, comforting layers of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Swap regular lasagna noodles with gluten-free options for a celiac-friendly version.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor complexity to the soup.
- Control soup thickness by adjusting broth quantity – less broth creates a heartier, more stew-like consistency.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for extra vitamins and color.
