Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 6 lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once the noodles are al dente, stir in the shredded chicken and spinach, letting the greens wilt gently.
Reduce the heat to low. Add cream cheese and stir until fully melted into the broth. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the soup becomes smooth, thick, and creamy. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
Simmer for 2–3 more minutes to allow the flavors to blend. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to adjust the consistency.
Tips for Perfect Soup
For a richer taste, use rotisserie chicken — it adds depth and tenderness. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute milk for cream and skip the cream cheese. To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a few drops of lemon juice before serving.
Serving Ideas
Serve hot, topped with extra shredded cheese, fresh parsley, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick. Pair it with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete comfort meal.
