Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10 ounce) box lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the broken lasagna noodles and the water. Return the soup to a simmer, stirring often to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom. Cook according to the noodle package directions, usually 10 to 12 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese cubes until they are fully melted and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese until the cheeses are melted and incorporated smoothly. Do not let the soup boil after adding the dairy.
  7. Serve the creamy chicken lasagna soup hot, topping each bowl with a dollop of ricotta cheese.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use high-quality crushed tomatoes.
  • If you do not have lasagna noodles, you can substitute with 1 1/2 cups of small pasta shapes like rotini or penne. Adjust cooking time as needed.
  • Stir frequently during the last few minutes of cooking to keep the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
