# Method:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

03 - Pour in chicken broth, dried Italian herbs, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
04 - Add broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente and chicken is cooked through.

06 - Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan until melted and creamy.
07 - Add fresh parsley, adjust seasoning as needed, and remove from heat. Ladle soup into bowls, garnishing each serving with additional parsley and Parmesan if desired.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers all the comfort of baked lasagna in about half the time and with way less effort
  • The combination of ricotta and melted mozzarella creates these incredible creamy pockets throughout every spoonful
02 -
  • The noodles will continue absorbing liquid as it sits so if you're meal prepping save some extra broth to thin it later
  • Add the cream and cheeses at the very end over low heat to prevent any separation or grainy texture
03 -
  • Break the lasagna noodles into varying sizes for more interesting texture in every spoonful
  • Let the soup rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving to let all those flavors really marry together
