Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the boiling broth. Cook according to package directions for al dente, stirring often to prevent sticking, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Reduce heat to low.
Whisk in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the soup is smooth and creamy. Heat through for 2 minutes, but do not boil after adding cream.
Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1 minute.
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
Serve immediately, topping each bowl with extra Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with half-and-half or whole milk for an even creamier texture.
If you do not have rotisserie chicken, cook 1 pound of chicken breast until done, shred it, and add it in step 4.
This recipe is a great base for a keto white chicken soup variation; omit the lasagna noodles and add 1 cup of cauliflower florets when you add the broth.
