Equipment
- dutch oven (or stock pot)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ medium onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup flour
- 7 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chicken flavored bouillon (I use better than bouillon brand)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt (taste before adding)
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 10 lasagna noodles broken into 2-inch pieces
- 5 cups baby spinach chopped
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese finely shredded
- ricotta cheese (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large soup pot and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the butter to the pot and let it melt. Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and whisk for 2 minutes.
- Slowly stir in while whisking, the chicken broth, milk, and cream. Add the bouillon, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes. Add the broken lasagna noodle pieces and stir.
- Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low, keeping a gentle simmer. Stir every few minutes so the noodles don’t stick to each other or the bottom of the pan. Cook until noodles are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Add the spinach, chicken, and parmesan cheese and turn off heat. Stir until the cheese is melted.
- Serve with a dollop of ricotta cheese, extra parmesan, and minced parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken is perfect in this recipe.
- The soup will thicken as it cools.
- If the soup is thicker than you want, add a bit more milk or broth.
- It’s important to stir frequently during the cooking process to prevent the milk and cream from burning and also keep the noodles from sticking together.
- Taste before adding salt since there are several ingredients that contain sodium. Use low sodium chicken broth to eliminate excessive salt.
