Steps to Make It
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making everyone curious about dinner.
- Next, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. You’ll smell the garlic’s rich fragrance as it softens, which means it’s time to add the ground chicken.
- Add the ground chicken to the pot and cook until it’s no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Once it’s cooked through, the chicken will be golden and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. As it bubbles, add the broken lasagna noodles and Italian seasoning. Stir well, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the noodles are tender.
- Once the noodles are cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and ricotta cheese. The soup will become creamy and luscious. Keep stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Finally, sprinkle in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and gooey. The soup should be thick and cheesy, just like lasagna. Serve it hot, and watch everyone dig in with smiles.
Make It Perfect
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If you want a veggie boost, toss in some spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
