Ingredients
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- chopped onions
- minced garlic
- diced carrots
- chicken broth
- diced tomatoes (with their juice)
- lasagna noodles (broken into smaller pieces if desired)
- fresh spinach
- ricotta cheese
- shredded mozzarella
- Parmesan cheese
- Italian herbs (like basil and oregano)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pot and set aside to cool.
- In the same pot, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced carrots. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- While the broth is heating, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Add it back to the pot along with any juices that have accumulated.
- Add your lasagna noodles (broken into smaller pieces if desired) to the pot. Let everything simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
- Stir in fresh spinach and dollops of ricotta cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the ricotta has melted slightly.
- Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs like basil and oregano as desired.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, top with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy it hot, garnished with fresh basil if you like!
