Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cream of chicken soup, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and broken lasagna noodles.
  5. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese until melted and the broth is creamy.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese, extra mozzarella, and extra Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts; add it in step 6 when you add the cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the simmering broth before adding the cream.
  • This recipe makes a great one pot lasagna soup, minimizing cleanup.
