Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • ½ medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 5 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 3 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasonings
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles broken into random pieces
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon ricotta to serve
  • 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese to serve
  • 2 tablespoon mozzarella cheese to serve
  • 2 tablespoon parsley chopped, to garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a heavy bottom pot; add oil followed by cubed chicken, cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • To the same cooking pot, add butter, once the butter is melted add onions, garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms start releasing moisture.
  • Sprinkle the flour and cook for a minute. Add in the chicken broth, Italian seasonings, thyme, basil, black pepper and salt. Bring it to a boil.
  • Add the lasagna noodles; cover and cook the soup for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken back to the pot along with the cream cheese and cook further until the pasta is cooked through on a medium flame.
  • Once done, serve the lasagna soup in a bowl topped with a spoonful of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese and garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Stir in leftover chicken such as rotisserie chicken instead of using cubed chicken. 
  • Add more vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, spinach or kale. 
  • Use your favorite pasta in place of the lasagna noodles. 
  • Use roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic for a rich, mellow flavor.
  • Use low fat cream cheese and half and half to reduce the calories and fat in the final dish. 
  • Use freshly grated cheese as it will melt better. 
  • The pasta will continue to absorb liquid as the soup sits. You may need to add additional broth when reheating.
