Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, for topping
  • Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add diced tomatoes (with liquid) and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling broth. Cook according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and cubed cream cheese until the cream cheese melts and the broth becomes creamy.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely.
  7. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese.
  8. Serve immediately. Top each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese and fresh basil.

Notes

  • For an easier weeknight meal, use pre-cooked shredded chicken instead of raw chicken breasts. Add the shredded chicken when you add the cream and cheese.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, use less chicken broth or allow the soup to simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the cream.
  • This recipe is a great example of comfort food soup ideas.
