# How to Make:
01 - Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
02 - Pour in chicken broth and milk. Stir to combine, then bring to a gentle simmer.
03 - Add broken lasagna noodles, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes or until noodles are al dente.
04 - Stir in shredded chicken and chopped spinach. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until spinach wilts and chicken is heated through.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Add ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until melted and soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
06 - Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It delivers every single comfort of classic white lasagna in about a third of the time and with half the dishes to wash afterward
- The ricotta melts into the broth creating this velvety, luxurious texture that coats your spoon perfectly
- You can keep shredded chicken in your freezer and turn this into a weeknight meal without any advance planning
02 -
- The soup will thicken considerably as it sits because the noodles continue absorbing liquid, so plan to add a splash more broth or milk when reheating leftovers
- Adding the cheese while the soup is at a rolling boil will cause it to separate and become grainy instead of smooth and creamy
- Breaking the noodles by hand creates irregular pieces that feel more rustic and hold sauce better than using a knife
03 -
- Grate your own Parmesan from a wedge because pre grated cheese has cellulose that prevents it from melting smoothly into the broth
- Taste your broth before adding any salt since different brands have wildly different sodium levels
