Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total: 45 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can prepare the soup a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. The chicken should be no longer pink, and you’ll smell a delicious aroma.
2. Next, stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. This step adds a wonderful flavor base to your soup.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. You’ll want to see some bubbles forming. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat and add the softened cream cheese, stirring until it’s fully melted and creamy. The soup will start to thicken, and you’ll see a lovely, smooth texture.
5. Add the heavy cream and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts down. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The vibrant green color will brighten up your soup!
6. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and broken lasagna noodles. Let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Keep an eye on it, as you want the noodles to be cooked but not mushy.
7. Finally, stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted. The soup should be bubbling and cheesy. Serve it warm with some crusty bread on the side.

Make It Perfect

• For a bit of spice, add red pepper flakes when cooking the chicken.
• If you want it extra cheesy, feel free to add more cheese on top when serving.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Mix It Up

• Swap out the chicken for cooked sausage for a different flavor.
• Add mushrooms or zucchini for extra veggies.
• Use gluten-free lasagna noodles for a gluten-free option.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a simple green salad.
• Pair with garlic bread for a complete meal.
• A glass of white wine complements the flavors beautifully.
