Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Separate large pot
  • whisk
  • Forks
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts and cook until fully cooked, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth and shred it using two forks.
  2. In a separate large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown.
  3. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, followed by the reserved chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
  5. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until melted and well combined.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of chicken and vegetable broth. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of cheese or add extra toppings like fresh basil or crushed red pepper flakes to customize the soup to your preferences. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
