Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground chicken or Italian sausage
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken or Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked meat. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add Broth and Sauces: Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and marinara sauce, stirring well to combine. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Add Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and stir until smooth.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for extra flavor and a touch of color. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a hint of spice if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute Italian sausage with ground chicken for a lighter version.
- Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spiciness.
- Use gluten-free noodles and broth to make it gluten-free.
