Description

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 cups low sodium chicken broth 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works well) 6 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces 1 1/2 cups milk or half-and-half 1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional) for thickening Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté Aromatics Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Step 2: Add Broth and Chicken Pour in the chicken broth and add the shredded chicken. Bring to a simmer. Step 3: Cook the Noodles Add broken lasagna noodles directly into the pot. Simmer until noodles are tender, about 10–12 minutes. Step 4: Add Dairy and Cheeses Reduce heat to low. Stir in the milk, cottage cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan. Simmer gently until melted and creamy. Add cornstarch slurry if thicker texture is desired. Step 5: Serve Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle soup into bowls and top with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for ease and extra flavor. Cottage cheese offers a lighter, high-protein alternative to ricotta. Avoid overcooking noodles to prevent sogginess. Add baby spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies. For slow cooker: add dairy in the final 15 minutes of cooking.
