Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lasagna noodles | 8-10 pieces | Broken into bite-sized pieces |
| Chicken breast (or thighs) | 1 lb | Shredded, cooked, or rotisserie chicken works too! |
| Butter | 2 tbsp | Adds richness to the Alfredo sauce |
| Garlic cloves | 3-4 minced | Fresh is best, but garlic powder works in a pinch! |
| Chicken broth | 4 cups | Low sodium recommended |
| Heavy cream | 1 ½ cups | For that luxurious Alfredo texture |
| Parmesan cheese | 1 cup | Freshly grated for maximum flavor |
| Mozzarella cheese | ½ cup | Makes it extra cheesy and melty |
| Italian seasoning | 1 tsp | Or use a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme |
| Salt & black pepper | To taste | Adjust as needed |
| Spinach (optional) | 1 cup | Adds freshness and nutrients |
| Crushed red pepper flakes | ¼ tsp | Optional, but great for a little heat! |
Instructions
Cook the Pasta & Chicken:
- Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a pan, cook chicken until fully done, then shred it. If using pre-cooked chicken, simply shred and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics:
- In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Make the Alfredo Base:
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, letting it warm up without boiling.
- Slowly add Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted.
Combine Everything:
- Add the shredded chicken and cooked lasagna noodles. Stir gently.
- Let it simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld together.
Final Touches & Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Stir in fresh spinach for extra nutrients (optional).
- Ladle into bowls, top with extra mozzarella, and serve hot!
👉 Tip: If the soup gets too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to thin it out.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth slightly or add more cheese.
- To make it lighter, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- For a gluten-free version, swap lasagna noodles for gluten-free pasta or zucchini ribbons.
- Make-ahead tip: Store the soup base separately from the pasta to avoid sogginess.
