Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
- 8 ounce short pasta or broken lasagna noodles
- 1 cup half and half or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cup fresh spinach
- Ricotta cheese, for topping
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
- Shredded mozzarella cheese, for topping
Instructions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using), cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
2. Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breasts. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
4. Stir in the pasta and sun-dried tomatoes (if using). Cook according to the pasta package instructions until the pasta is tender.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the half and half (or heavy cream) and cornstarch. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it’s wilted and fully incorporated.
7. Ladle the Cozy White Lasagna Soup into bowls and top with a generous amount of ricotta, grated Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve hot and savor every creamy, comforting bite!
Notes
To ensure your Cozy White Lasagna Soup turns out perfectly, here are some helpful tips and tricks:
Use a large pot or Dutch oven to accommodate all the ingredients and allow for easy stirring.
For the best texture, use two forks to shred the chicken breasts directly in the pot.
Keep a close eye on the pasta as it cooks, following the package instructions closely to prevent it from becoming mushy.
If you prefer a thicker, creamier soup, use a bit more cornstarch. For a lighter version, reduce the amount of cream or half and half.
Store any leftover Cozy White Lasagna Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stovetop to avoid overcooking the pasta.
