Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened and cubed
  • 8 lasagna noodles broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Dutch Oven or Pot
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Ladle

Method
 

  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for one minute to cook out the raw flour taste. This will form a paste, or roux, which is key to a thick and creamy soup.
  3. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese. Continue to stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the broth is smooth.
  4. Bring the soup to a gentle boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook according to package directions, typically about 10-12 minutes, until al dente.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded chicken and fresh spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach has wilted and the chicken is heated through.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, and fresh parsley.

Notes

Tip 1: Use a rotisserie chicken to save time on prepping the chicken.
Tip 2: For the best flavor and texture, use full-fat dairy products like heavy cream and cream cheese.
Tip 3: Grate your own Parmesan and mozzarella cheese for a smoother melt and better flavor.
